AUP College of Medicine or School of Medical Technology building?



College of Medicine Updates 2011


3. Location of COM.  The best place for the COM would be adjacent to the present academic cluster and
not near the New Gate as originally planned.  The location near the Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa road would be
reserved for the future development of a bigger COM complex and the hospital.  Building the COM
near the present academic areas would mean that the building could later be used by other colleges.
 










"The COM will be sharing facilities with the Medical Technology (MT) department which could not be accredited until now despite their excellent academic performance due to lack of a building... There will be four classrooms that can be used by other science courses in the basement.”
"The CHED will not entertain any proposal for a medical program until they inspect the building.  The building will be used by the Medical Technology department once it is finished."
Medical Technology/Lab Sciences Offices and Classrooms = 1434 sq.m.
College of Medicine Dean's Office and Other Offices = 35 + 63 = 98 sq.m.


Plan B: 1,532 sq.m. for PhP70 mil. [PhP 45,691.00 per sq.m.] consists of several rooms at USD 1,659,573.00 [roughly USD 1,083.27 per sq.m.]











Nos. 7 and 8 [rooms] have been designated, at least for the time being, for the College of Medicine (COM). All the rest are for Medical Technology Dept. occupancy and use. COM Dean's Office [35 sq.m.] + COM Offices [63 sq.m.] = 98 sq.m. out of total 1,532 sq.m. = 6.39%

Briefly, 6.65% of the total cost [or, 6.39% floor area in sqm of the finished structure] is for the COM US$3,9367.00 COM Dean’s Office; US$7,0765.00 COM Dept Offices

Total: US$11,0132.00 out of the estimated US$1,659,573.00

Room/Facility Cost (US$ per sqm)/ Cost (US$)
Mean Ave: US$ 1,083.27 per sq.m.
Total: US$ 1,659,573.00


Plan A: 8,933 sq.m. for PhP150 mil [PhP 16,791.67 per sq.m]
Plan B: 1,532 sq.m. for PhP70 mil. [PhP 45,691.00 per sq.m.] consists of several rooms at USD 1,659,573.00 [roughly US$ 1,083.27 per sq.m.]

.
On the one hand, from Plan A = PhP 150 mil to Plan B = PhP 70 mil means cost-cutting down to forty-six percent (46%) of the original price. On the other hand, from Plan A = 8,933 to Plan B = 1,532 sq.m. means downsizing to seventeen percent (17%) of a previously approved master plan.
 In sum, from Plan A (#1) with an estimated cost of PhP 150 mil for 8,933 sq.m. to Plan B (#2) priced at PhP 70 mil for 1,532 sq.m., there's an absolute reduction in the size of the structure to be built (down to 17% of the original) but also a near three-fold increase in construction cost (up 272%)  per sq.m. of floor area.
