History

In January 2009, a ground-breaking ceremony marked the start of the construction of the FEU Cavite campus in Metrogate Silang Estates, an exclusive subdivision. Finished in 2010, it have two environment-friendly buildings, one for the Basic Education Department and the other for the Higher Education Department. The campus stands in six-hectare parcel of land.[1]


Campus

Academic Buildings

Presently, there are two main academic buildings on campus: the Basic Education and Senior High School Building and the Higher Education Building. The architecture of the buildings were designed by Arch. Daniel Lichauco. High ceilings and large windows were incorporated into the design of the buildings, allowing as much air and light inside as possible and to minimize the use of air-conditioning.[2] The artistic couple Mona and Soler Santos created the artwork which became the basis of the facades of the said two buildings.[3][4]

Dormitory

FEU Cavite has its own dormitory, known as TAM-Bahay. It broke ground in November 2014 and was opened in June 2015. It stands on a 1.29-hectare piece of land adjacent to the Tertiary building. It has three floors and can accommodate 120 people. It also has a room for two persons with disabilities.[5]

Community

Since the school is located inside a private village, free shuttle services have been introduced to ease the students' commute. There are shuttles serving the town proper of Silang and the main gate of the subdivision where the campus stands.

In 2015, the official student publication of the college, Simbuhan, was launched.
