Perspective of the CPU Elementary Covered Gym donated by Dr. Carmen P. Santos.
The CPU Elementary Department has been dreaming of having a covered gym. This dream is now becoming a reality as Dr. Carmen Pama Santos donated an amount for the construction of a covered gym.
The construction of the 936 Square-Meter area covered gym started in the middle of April 2017. According to Engr. Noel Tablason, the Construction Manager, the budget for the covered gym is 9 million pesos. He also added that the construction progress is on target to be completed on September 2017 in time for the University Day activities. The construction includes the renovation and modification of the current multipurpose stage.
