EXPLANATORY NOTE

In line with the university‘s vision “A World-Class University Producing Leaders and Change
Agents for Social Transformation and Development”, the Bicol University needs to develop and
initiate a physical development plan that will cater the need of the institution through campus
development, Which is risk sensitive dnd climate change adaptive

Physical facilities are the most potent determinant of high academic achievement of students
Facilities in terms of qualifications of personnel, who are directly involved in the pedagogy of
teaching; academic and administration buildings, laboratory, library, students’ interactive
learning centers are very crucial to high academic attainment. Hence, the college shall provide
adequate material resources to the faculty and students to enhance the teaching and leaming
environment including support processes:

The need for new academic and administration buildings for almost of the East Campus Unit
arises due to the increasing demand as follows:

The college has an average student population of 2300 per semester, 41 faculty, and 32 non-
teaching personnel, Ten (10) sub-offices need to be contained in a general administration
building to maintain effective and efficient delivery of its functions under planning, organization,
direction and control.

In compliance with CHED requirements, the college plans to integrate in its existing academic
structure various graduate programs in order to provide advanced academic degrees to both the
faculty of the university and engineers from the industry,

HUUSE 2 REPRESENTATIVES:



In the clientele satisfaction survey results, students rated the quality of services provided and
personnel attitude as “Very Satisfactory” except for the infrastructure and utilities, Classrooms,
laboratory facilities, seminars/training halls, sports facilities, and student lounge were rated
“Satisfactory” while comfort rooms were rated “fair”. In consonance with the University’s
Vision, satisfactory rating must be upscaled to “Very Satisfactory” with outstanding clientele
satisfaction

The Bicol University College of Engineering (BUCeng) is known as the home of the
topnotchers, and maintains an overall performance in the engineering board examinations most
higher than the national passing percentage, as gleaned below:
