UNIVERSITY FACADE
"All are invited to a deeper love of God."
First impressions last; the front exterior constitutes the warm and cheerful welcoming atmosphere distinct in St. Paul University Philippines and projects the scholastic climate that permeates every nook of the campus. It delivers the greetings that create the feelings of "home" that comforts visitors and the thought of an enjoyable experience ahead for guests. "God is Love! It is His Love that gathers us together" Everyone that convenes in St. Paul University Philippines came for a purpose and is enjoined to celebrate with us in prayer. All are invited to a deeper love of God.
Since education is one of the primary ministries of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, they crafted the university facade to reflect a promise of a bright future that enlivens students to have a strong mind and body and inspires their spirits to conquer their dreams. A supportive environment facilitates greater levels of academic excellence that opens the gates of success.
Finally, the facade echoes the pride and joy of all Paulinians that have been etched in their hearts for eternity after learning, practicing and fulfilling the life of a Christian Catholic, which is the culmination of St. Paul's mission - to bear witness to the Gospel through words and action. That is the undying essence of St. Paul that has remained unchanged through time and despite changes in its principal visage.
The University grandstand serves as venue for college graduation and other co-curricular activities in the University. The field facing it is used for sports activities and field demonstrations.
As a venue for major socio-civic and educational activities as well ceremonial functions, the University grandstand is located overlooking the open grounds beside the Mere Maria Building. It is also a venue for college presentations, activities and events sponsored by the University and student organizations.
The stadium is a state-of-the-art facility built with ladderized rows of seats under a roof. Hence, aside from functioning as a platform for performances, it is used to accommodate the audience for watching sports games in the open field such as soccer and other similar activities.
The University Chapel is located on the second floor of the Lorenzo Ruiz (LR) building. It is the venue of many spiritual development activities of the University.
