As the School of Statistics approaches its 60th year in 2013, a new building will be constructed  to accommodate the growing population of students and the expanding research activities of the faculty.  The 4-storey complex will be divided into two phases.

Phase 1 will accommodate classrooms, library, computer laboratories,  conference rooms, and faculty rooms.

Phase 2 will include additional classrooms, training rooms, discussion rooms (for graduate students and study groups), research support facilities, two 150-seater lecture halls, 400-seater auditorium, student area, and cafeteria.

At present, the Architectural and Engineering Design (AED) is being developed and  is due in April 2012. Construction of Phase 1 will start within 2012 to be completed by 2013.

In the meantime, the School will temporarily hold classes and offices in another building starting second semester AY 2012-2013 to give way for the construction of the building in the same site along Magsaysay Avenue.
