With the call for an increased awareness in utilizing eco-friendly solutions all over the world, Davao Doctros College aligned itself by conceptualizing and ultimately constructing a multifunctional 'Green" structure.
As the brainchild of Dr. Rizalina Mitra-Pangan, President & CEO of the college, the Arts & Sciences Building was a "dream-come-true" for the DDC community. Designed by Architect Pablito P. Labao and Engr. Virgilio R. Co of Vigor Construction, it is built with earth-friendly recycling rain water system, water-less toilets, inverter technology air-conditioning system, compact lighting, window sun-baffles and air purifying paints.
To add to the college's infrastructure milestones, the six-level building boasts of multifunctional amenities and state-of-the-art facilities intended to further address the laboratory needs of the students from the College of Arts & Sciences, Business & Education. The new structure showcases a fully furnished stainless steel kitchen, ladies dormitory, mock hotel, function room, coffee shop, and housekeeping and demo laboratories for the Hospitality Management students. Along with the regular classrooms is a case room intended for the short, non-degree courses being offered by the college.
The blessing and soft opening of the newly constructed building was successfully held last May 28, 2010 at 3:00 pm in preparation for the first semester of school year 2010 – 2011. The members of the Board of Trustees, industry partners from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education & Skills Development Authority (TESDA), as well as friends from other educational institutions and the business sector graced the affair. The President's latest accomplishment was covered by GMA Kapuso Network.
