History

In 2018, the 1.8-hectare campus welcomed almost 2,000 students to the 14-storey academic building equipped with modern classrooms and laboratories. Accented by lush greenscapes, the campus also features a 200-seater chapel and gymnasium.[2]

In March 2020, FEU Alabang opened its gymnasium for the front line health care workers of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) and to help fight the COVID-19 that is rampaging across the country. The campus, being 300 meters away from RITM, allotted 50 beds and a 12-seater lounge as well as a shower, toilet and locker facilities.[3]

Located at the center of multinational companies at the Wood District which FEU recognizes as industry partners, students have an advantage in securing valuable internships and access to career success. [2]

Staying true to the University's long-standing advocacy of preserving the environment, FEU Alabang is designed by Arch. Carmelo Casas.[6] He utilized its sustainable structure that will use the sun's orientation and prevailing wind direction for light conservation and proper ventilation to students and faculties. With its prime location and an extensive array of program offerings, the campus can accommodate up to 18,000 students.[2]

In February 2020, the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel was inaugurated. It was headed by FEU President Dr. Michael Alba, FEU Chair Emeritus Dr. Lourdes Reyes Montinola, FEU Chief Finance Officer Johnny Montinola, and Dr. Tan.[7]

In September, following its inauguration, Casas + Architects Inc. (C + A) received 5 stars for Public Architecture from the Red Carpet Asia Pacific Property for their work on the chapel.[8]
