In an era where modern infrastructure directly influences educational outcomes and academic performance, investing in quality learning environments plays a pivotal role in shaping future leaders who can drive local development and contribute to global progress. Effective September 2026, the University of Rizal System – Angono Campus launched a major campus revitalization project, including the comprehensive repair and repainting of the Ynares School Building in Barangay San Isidro, Angono, Rizal.
Upgrading educational facilities not only revitalizes the physical learning environment for more than 1,900 students enrolled from first to fourth year across nine programs under two academic colleges, but also aligns with international standards for accessible, safe, and sustainable higher education.
This milestone was made possible through the proactive leadership and supervision of URS Angono Campus Director, Dr. Norma F. Elviña, who formally communicated the campus’s facility needs to the Provincial Government of Rizal. Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to youth development and academic excellence, Rizal Governor Hon. Nina Ricci A. Ynares promptly responded to the request, allocating the necessary resources to ensure the campus infrastructure meets the evolving needs of the university community.
With a total contract price of Php 7,819,700.41, the project was officially awarded to Kit Ubiadas Construction Corp., under the management of Mr. Edgardo M. Ubiadas. As the repair and repainting work progresses across the campus, the transformed Ynares School Building stands as proof of effective governance, strong academic leadership, and a shared dedication to providing Rizaleño students with an inspiring environment conducive to academic growth.
