Students enrolled in BS Architecture from UC College of Engineering and Architecture are taking their classroom knowledge beyond theory, transforming it into a tangible solution for community safety.

Through the University’s Center for Social Responsibility – Project H.E.L.E.N., the students unveiled a concept proposal for a riprap slope protection system at Camp 7 Elementary School, Baguio City, a site vulnerable to soil erosion and runoff during heavy rains.

Following a June 17, 2025, site inspection and coordination meeting with school officials, the students designed a structural intervention that prioritizes both safety and resilience. Their plan envisions reinforced protection for the school’s infrastructure, aiming to safeguard the learning environment and provide long-term benefits to the surrounding community.

The concept proposal was presented to the University officers headed by VP for Administration and Student Services Dr. Rhodora A. Ngolob.
