A two-storey building is set to rise at the Laguna State Polytechnic University-Los Banos grounds behind a total budget of P40 million.

LSPU said the new building features 12 classrooms that houses the College of Arts and Sciences.

The university noted the new building will help accommodate the increasing student population of the college.

The project was conceptualized through the partnership of LSPU, Laguna 2nd District Representative Congresswoman Ruth M. Hernandez, and the Department of Public Works and Highway.

A groundbreaking ceremony was conducted on Monday, with officials of all three offices in attendance.

The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025, according to the university.
