Their presence unified the executive support for an infrastructure investment and a legacy initiative for the University.

In his remarks, President Galas conveyed that quality education is sustained not only through academic systems and standards, but also through facilities that enable institutions to deliver on their mission. He emphasized that infrastructure development, when aligned with quality assurance principles, becomes part of a larger ecosystem of continuous improvement.

Vice President Dr. Villanueva, meanwhile, emphasized the value of globally responsive and future-oriented campus development, noting that investments in infrastructure stems from efficient resource management and effective budget utilization of the university.

Other university officials also pointed out that the Grand Legacy Building Phase V is envisioned as a space that will support collaboration, academic productivity, and community engagement.
The project, they noted, reflects the Universityโ€™s development initiatives with long-term institutional transformation.

The program proceeded with the ceremonial groundbreaking, symbolizing the formal start of a project designed to contribute to PSUโ€™s growing portfolio of infrastructure developments. Officials described the occasion as a milestone in the Universityโ€™s continuing efforts to create spaces that embody both legacy and progress.
