Students from the Department of Architecture took the lead in designing an accessible massage therapy stall for the Blessed Community of Persons with Disability Inc. (BCPDI) at Maharlika Livelihood Center.

Under the guidance of Project H.E.L.E.N., the student team conducted an ocular visit and coordination meeting in June 2025 to assess the site and develop concept plans tailored to the organization’s specific needs. Their proposals focus on barrier-free, research-informed designs that comply with Batas Pambansa 344, ensuring accessibility for visually impaired members of the community.

This initiative exemplifies how UC architecture students translate academic learning into practical, socially responsive projects, contributing meaningful solutions to inclusive livelihood efforts and community development.

On August 4, 2025, the students presented their concept plans to UC Project H.E.L.E.N. officials, led by Dr. Rhodora A. Ngolob, Vice President for Administration and Student Services.
