Datem unveils DLSU-Rufino green campus in Ft Bonifacio

MANILA, Philippines - De La Salle Philippines adds another green building to the country’s skyline with the opening of the DLSU-Rufino campus at Bonifacio Global City.  The DLSU-Rufino campus will be registered with the Philippine Green Building Council’s BERDE Program that will eventually certify the structure as one of the educational institutions that are taking concrete steps to promote sustainable and environmentally-sound construction practices.

The DLSU-Rufino campus is set to welcome its first students in the first quarter of 2016 and will be home to the DLSU College of Law, as well as offer graduate programs and continuing education courses through the Ramon V. Del Rosario College of Business. The DLSU-Rufino Campus features a seven-story building with 18 classrooms, an auditorium, a moot court, a library and discussion rooms.
