UST gets a new gym

[galileo_]

Manansala? diba painter yun? baka si Francisco Manosa.

Recio+Casas;

Pacific Plaza Towers, One and Two Lafayette Square, Richmond Hotel, Kingswood Makati, Robinsons’ One Gateway Plaza and the Church of the Gesu in Ateneo de Manila University, as well as the yet unbuilt iCon condominium in The Fort and taipan Lucio Tan’s the Emerald Loft in Ortigas.

isama mo pa yung greenbelt mall.

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?

nung nasa uste pa ako, narining ko yung patutsada nung isang seminarista, matindi daw ang politika sa kaparian ng dominikano. kaya naman pala nabulilyaso yung UST Hospital Tower. buti pumasok uli itong si Rector Dela Rosa. I hope mapatino nya o mapatalsik yung mga bulok diyan sa Uste bago mag 2011.

dapat bumili na sila ng lupa sa paligid at magpatayo na sila ng multi-level parking na atleast 10-storey, kasabayan ng gym. dahil pag may laban ang Ateneo o kaya La Salle, saan mo isasaksak ang mga kotse ng mga yan, buti kung mapagdyip mo sila! saka crowded na rin sa loob ng campus.

politics. yeah. my friend was a victim of 'politics' within the dominican system. that's another topic. to buy a lot near ust is farfetched. see, even ust's surround is crowded. in my time i don't see any vacant lots up for sale. i don't think parking during games would be a problem. based on the scale model, there are spaces allotted for parking spaces. kahit isang libong kotse pa isaksak mo siguro kasya.

[letsrockandroll]

^^ what else do you expect from them?

oh well, good luck sa UST. sobrang dami na ngang students (medicine, Undergrad, Law and graduate school) ang sikip pa ng campus. then yung tapat daw ng UST tan Yan kee, may itatayo daw? parang another complex again.. aalisin na yung parking doon. so yung buong edifice na nang UST miguel de benavidez library, hindi na makikita. sarado na talaga.

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.

yan din ang iniisip ko kasi pag sinabing indoor track diba dyan ginaganap ang athletics. so kasama dyan ang mga throw events like javelin and discuss na kailangan ng mataas ng ceiling or open air.

Tingnan na lang natin pag natapos na.

Onwards to 2011

according to wiki: Track and field athletics, commonly known as athletics or track and field, is a collection of sports events that involve running, throwing and jumping. The name "athletics" is derived from the Greek word "athlos" meaning "contest".

based on this definition, "track" pertains to running (as in the sport track and field). athletics, on the other hand, is the general term for running, throwing (in this case javelin and discus) and jumping (long jump).

so the indoor track's purpose in the new ust gym is solely for the purpose of running/jogging without the hassle of getting soaked in the rain or being drooled at by thomasian fans.

thank you pontivs for the photo. that's exactly how i imagined it to look like. ang ganda.

So, here's the final design:

sa tingin ko pampasira sa itsura ng gym yung tent. kung hindi lang bahain sa uste, sana gumawa na lang sila ng underground parking lot.

Oo nga ano!

Great idea!

[letsrockandroll]

sa tingin ko, kung may game ateneo vs la salle sa UST, yung carpark.. di mahulugan ng karayom! hehehe

kahit UST vs Ateneo, UST vs La Salle, FEU vs UE etc etc.pa yan

[Azulforumer]

I'm not from UST, but I guess you are correct. Didn't you had the oldest printing press building in the country right there at Espana cor Dapitan (not sure), and that old building was demolished in favor of a modern design??!!! I think it's better for the old building to be preserved in its original form as possible.

If nobody is planning the buildings, who is approving them?

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.

May balak ba gawin diyan ang UAAP? Aba'y piyesta ang mga holdaper, snatcher at protektor ng mga yan.

Security reasons.

Mukhang mas maangas rin ang 400M project sa NU ng mga Sy. Mas kaabang-abang dahil credible ang financier.

the ust gym is located in gated premises of the school. kung security reasons ang problema, eh 'di sana hindi na rin naglaro sa ninoy aquino stadium at cuneta astrodome ang uaap teams

Kaya nga sila napalitan ng ULTRA as an alternate venue ng Araneta di ba?

[isQuash]

^ exactly, because these venues (cuneta and ninoy) are full of lawless elements. if a place like ultra can accommodate uaap fans (car-wise, security-wise), ust can do better. with the new gym's creation, security will be tighter, unlike in other uaap venues.

sinagot mo na rin pala ang iyong haka-haka.

[Bahay_Na_Bato]

Mukhang maganda itong bagong gym ng UST, kaso maliit. Mas maliit kaysa sa Blue Eagle Gym, at baka mas maliit kaysa sa ULTRA, pero hamak laki naman compared sa ibang venue sa ibang UAAP school na may provisions para sa audience.

Pero kung location nga naman, baka nga ok ito, kasi medyo gitna nga naman ang UST. Yun nga lang, kung train ang transportation na ginagamit mong madalas na pang-commute, medyo malayo na ito mula sa nearest train station.
