The Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod At Present

To improve the quality of its service to the people of Negros in particular and to the Philippines in general, Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod is currently carrying out projects that would expand its presence, upgrade its facilities and develop its educators.

Expansion Projects

The construction of the CSA-B Extension Campus Phase I in Villa Angela is now underway. At the same time, a new Students' Center (to be named after the Order's newest saint, Alfonso de Orozco) is being built inside the main campus and will be made available by September of this year.

CSA-Bacolod has been upgrading its facilities to meet the demands of education in the Third Millenium. Below are just some of those facility improvements since the year 2000.
