📍 UYTENGSU FOUNDATION COMPUTER STUDIES HALL & UYTENGSU FOUNDATION COMPUTER CENTERThe College of Computer Studies (CCS) at Silliman University operates from two distinguished buildings, namely the Uytengsu Foundation Computer Center, a single-story edifice, and the Uytengsu Foundation Computer Studies Hall, an impressive three-story structure. Serving as a vital component of Silliman University’s intricate local area network, the CCS benefits from a sophisticated network infrastructure supported by a web of high-speed fiber-optic cables. Notably, Silliman University is distinguished as one of the select two educational institutions in the Philippines boasting an extensive fiber-optic backbone, with the unique distinction of being the sole school in the country to possess its independent fiber-optic system.
The establishment of this comprehensive network, which was implemented at a cost of US $2.5 million in 1997, has been instrumental in interconnecting all campus buildings, fostering seamless communication and facilitating a robust digital ecosystem conducive to advanced learning and research. Furthermore, Silliman University remains at the forefront of technological innovation within the academic landscape, having pioneered the implementation of wireless Wi-Fi B2B LAN technology, a pioneering feat that solidifies its position as a trailblazer in the integration of cutting-edge digital infrastructure for educational advancement in the Philippines.
