A PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF USC-TC DORMITORY

Location: Talamban, Cebu City

Project Type: Academic Project

The Municipality of Liloan with its fast-paced economic growth, recent developments pose threats to the historical fabric of Liloan where there is a clear disparity and disconnect with recent developments and the identity of the locality. The spurring economic growth also poses the municipality as a gateway to the north-side of Cebu which calls for a state-of-the-art facility as the municipality reaches cityhood.

The redevelopment aims to bypass the land travel time to address issuesofeconomiclossesduetotrafficjam, connect different modes of transportation for user-convenience and revitalize the historic fabric of the municipality.
