Ganda nga eh!

[claudz_444]

astig naman yung bagong gym!...is it airconditioned?...how bout the old gym?

[pepman]

^^
Ofcourse!
We are already high-tech 'no!

[claudz_444]

nice...lumelevel up na talaga..kaya sa mga detractors ng UST lalo na sa gym nila before na nilalait nio..ayan na..wala na silang masasabi..hahaha

[bahamut_zero]

Okay din ito na multi-level, nasa second level yung court mismo. tapos parang coliseum talaga na may shops etc.
I can't wait for 2011.

[lifeline20]

wow ganda... court lang ba meron? are there other rooms na ibang sports? tamad ako magbasa hehee

[letsrockandroll]

next year na ba daw ito matatapos?

[rreyes_18]

Wow. That's massive. Congrats to UST and goodluck in building the new gym.

P.S. Didn't the Antonio brothers go to UST too?

[freelancer07]

OT: Can someone cite some buildings or projects na nagawa nila Recio and Casas. Si Manansala lang kasi ang kilala kong sikat na Thomasian architect.

c Leandro Locsin, Thomasian sya. Kaya lang patay na.. hehe

[rreyes_18]

Also si Lira Luis. She's the first filipino graduate of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright School right? Astig... I just don't know any of her projects though. hehehe..

[isQuash]

next year na ba daw ito matatapos?

in 2010 hopefully. there is no reason to hurry up the construction since it has to live up to everyone's expectations. congratulations ust!

someone mentioned thomasian architect lira luis. here's her website: www.liraluis.com

The four-storey sports complex will house a basketball court, with bleachers to accommodate 5,792 patrons. Aside from basketball, the complex will also house the facilities for badminton, fencing, table tennis, indoor track, dancing, gymnastics, and a fitness center. There will also be classrooms, administrative offices, and space for food concessionaires. A multi-level parking space will also be built outside the gymnasium.

The new gym will also serve as a museum that will enshrine all the trophies, medals and other memorabilia of various UAAP championships the university has won throughout the years. Championship banners will also hang from the rafters of the gymnasium.

Does the indoor track means, an indoor track and field? Para kasing di na kakasya yun sa 4-story na building with a basketball stadium etc.

'Yun 'yun, eh! Kaya nagpagawa kasi hindi na magkasya sa lumang gym. Hehehe... Sabi 'yung karamihan ng awards nakatambak sa ilalim ng bleachers. 'Yung pinapakita sa labas ngayon sa may entrance ay portion lang nung total number. It's about time na magkaroon na sila ng tamang kalagyan, mini-museum ba for exhibition.

[Tomasaiyan]

Mas maganda kung puro UST seal ang makikita kasi ang monicker pwedeng mapalitan... diba from Glowing Goldies naging Growling Tigers... kaya mas ayos kung hindi puro Tiger ang mailalagay...

[letsrockandroll]

para namang sobrang laki ng UST gym na yan. medyo sumisikp na ng UST heheh

[HARE]

Arci people are really concern about the growing problem in UST's scarcity of land. As a matter of fact, the UST Archi held a symposium in 2006 (When I was graduating) to raise the awareness among Thomasians. Unfortunately Dominican fathers were not interested in the concern intiated by the Architecture department. Not a single priest attended the symposium.

What is more frustrating to know is that UST doesn't have a University planning office...so hindi planado yang pag tayo nila ng pagtayo ng building. When I asked a certain professor if they have a say on the uncontolled infrastructure developments sa UST they say wala. Kasi masyado daw close minded ang mga pari. Even more frustrating is that they keep on building buildings sa UST na hindi namamximize yung talent ng Architecture talents and Alumni...Take for example the Tan Yankee Student Center. Alam nyo ba na halos lahat ng kilala kong archi nagdadasal na sana lumindol tapos gumuho na yun....next yung Beato hehe.

I hope this new administration of Fr. Rolando dela Rosa would be more open to this idea...we boast of the best Architecture program sa Philippines and yet hindi naman natin ginagamit sa sarili nating bahay. Nakakafrustrate lang talaga.

[Ashlars]

^^ Panget naman talaga yung Tan Yan Kee Student Center. Ipinilit itayo dun sa tapat ng Central Library.

I find it odd that Thomasian architects (at least the very famous ones) are hardly tapped for UST projects.

ust is beginning to become like la salle. cramped. the dominicans should consider suggestions from stakeholders esp. students/faculty/alumni. wala naman mawawala eh. see, even the tan yan kee center is , well, 'misplaced'. what on earth were they thinking when they constructed the edifice in front of the library? pati ba naman sa pagconstruct ng mga buildings sa loob, close minded pa din ang mga pari?

Pwede ba uling gibain yun. tutal di naman mukhang pinagkagastusan.

Yung Tan Yankee, dapat bumili na lang sila ng lote sa bandang P. Noval o Dapitan, yun, medyo aangat yang gusali na yan. buhay pa naman si Francisco Manosa, dapat siya na pinagdisenyo nito saka nung Beato. Buti pa ang Ateneo naidisenyo na niya, yung sa Rockwell.

Atleast, ibinigay nila kay Palafox ang UST-Sta.Rosa. Pwede tayo tumapat sa DLSU at Ateneo na magtatayo rin ng campus doon.

Malaki naman ang tiwala ko na magiging maganda itong gymnasium, magaling naman ang Recio at Casas.

I hope ipadesign nila ang UST Hospital kay Manosa.

indoor track?! i wonder how it looks like. this project is ambitious but it will definitely give uaap a better alternative in venues, instead of ultra and ninoy aquino stadium. next to araneta coliseum, i'm sure this will be the next favorite among sports spectators.
