ARTHALAND, the country’s foremost green developer, strengthens its partnership with the Ateneo de Manila University following a generous donation to help fund the refurbishment of the Blue Eagle Gym. The Blue Eagle Gym, one of the University’s most iconic structures, has undergone its first major refurbishment since it was built in 1949. It now features improved ventilation and acoustics, additional basketball and volleyball courts, enhanced training spaces, and modern amenities that elevate the experience of athletes, students, and visitors. With its new look, it has also transformed into a premier venue for milestone University events such as commencement exercises and public performances.

In appreciation for its continuous support to the Ateneo community, the University is conferring to ARTHALAND the permanent naming rights to the 2nd Floor Gate 1 entrance, keeping its legacy alive throughout the gymnasium’s lifetime. ARTHALAND’s support is a deeply rooted strategic partnership that covers education, holistic development, campus mobility, environmental stewardship, and now, world-class facilities. Its earlier contributions focused on initiatives that directly benefited over 900 student-athletes belonging to the various sports teams of the Ateneo Grade School, Ateneo Junior High School, and Ateneo Senior High School. The Company also lent a hand to Ateneo’s pioneering E-Shuttle service that is designed to reduce the University’s carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable campus. Its donations of two new e-shuttles have helped promote green mobility and significantly improved traffic flow inside the campus.

Our continued support is a strategic investment in a partner institution whose values mirror our own,” said Oliver L. Chan, SVP and Chief Sustainability Officer of ARTHALAND.
