OFFICIAL STATEMENT | Progress Updates on the Endorsement of OCBO Requirements & Tentative Date of Renovation Completion
TO: The Mapúa MCM Community
Greetings to the Mapúa MCM Community!
We would like to give current updates regarding progress on the building’s renovation and the return to face-to-face.
As of January 16, 2026, the Structural Condition Assessment Report of the Mapúa MCM Administration and Academic Buildings together with the proposed Structural Repair and Strengthening Methodology was completed and submitted to the Office of the City Building Official (OCBO). Currently, the institution with its third-party consultant (AC Pama Engineering Consultancy) is completing the Structural Analysis that will be derived from the submitted reports and is committed to submitting it before February 15, 2026, to OCBO.
Once we receive the necessary permit and approval from OCBO, the repairs, renovations, and retrofitting of the buildings are expected to be completed by May 31, 2026.
We thank you for your patience, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and anxiety that this has caused everyone. Rest assured, the institution is committed to taking the necessary steps towards ensuring that the campus you all return to is not only repaired but strengthened and improved.
Thank you and stay safe!
