UST GenSan site development in full swing
SITE DEVELOPMENT for the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in Barangay Ligaya, General Santos City is still ongoing, with start of operations expected by 2021. Phase 1 of the construction in the eight-hectare campus, being undertaken by contractor AIMM Builder and Construction Supply, includes site grading, road works and utilities, and buildings and laboratories for the initial programs. UST-GenSan will initially offer its flagship programs in Health and Sciences, Business and Accountancy, Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Technology, Tourism and Hospitality Management, and Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science. “The opening of UST in Mindanao is its contribution to the dream of an integrated and globally competitive Mindanao,” UST Rector Fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P. said during last year’s groundbreaking ceremony. “This administration supports the proposed UST-GenSan campus and I envision this project to further move us towards the equality education that the residents of this city deserves,” GenSan Mayor Ronnel C. Rivera said. —
