UST Tops Off Henry Sy, Sr. Hall at Manila Campus

The University of Santo Tomas (UST) held the topping off ceremony of the Hnery Sy, Sr. Hall last October 7, 2023. The ceremony is a builder's tradition that highlights the placement of the final beam on top of the structure.

The seven-storey building is a tribute of the Sy family, the SM Group, and UST to the SM founder for his life-long education advocacy. It is equally a manifestation of the ever-growing desire of the UST Research and Endowment Foundation Inc., Anargyroi: FMS Foundation Inc, and the 152-year old UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (FMS) to further level up in the field of medicine.

The Henry Sy, Sr. Hall will serve as a hub for simulation in medical education, interactive student centered-learning, collaborative multidisciplinary research, and interprofessional education. It will house the Sts. Cosmas and Damian Simulation and Research Center.

"The Henry Sy, Sr. Hall will be a state-of-the-art structure designed to meet the challenges and expectations of a digitally-inclined medical education landscape. It will house technologically advanced facilities and equipment, which will complement the existing teaching, learning, and research practices of the university. It is yet another milestone, securing the UST FMS a relevant spot, a significant spot in Catholic medical education in the country, the region, and the world," said FMS Dean Dr. Ma. Lourdes Maglinao.

"Medical students can access a broad range if digital tools and resources to enhance their learning ane education as we were compelled to shift to e-learning and online course platforms," said UST Rector Rev. Fr. Richard Ang, O.P.

"Nowadays, keeping up with the advances in medical education is paramount to ensure that our students are competent, agile, and well-prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the ever-changing educational landscape of modern medicine, and this building, this edifice, will give us state-of-the-art equipment, which will give our medical students a cutting-edge knowledge on how to use robotics as well as other equipment," added Fr. Ang.
