The building that received the recognition are the Nicanor Reyes Sr. Hall, the Administration Building, the Admissions Building, which was formerly the Engineering Building or the East Asia Building, the Architecture and Fine Arts Building, formerly the Law Building, the Science Building, and the FEU Chapel.
