  • The Msgr. Guerrero building which houses the University Chapel
  • The Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz Museum and Archives
  • The Multi-Purpose Hall
  • The Ryan Hall extension
  • The Puno Hall extension
  • The Alumni building
  • The Post Office

Under Fr. Ramos, the University was chosen as a site for the Regional Staff Development Center, the Nutrition Center, the Decentralized Learning Resource Center, and the Educational Development Implementation Task Force for Region III. It was also under his term that the Outreach Ministry was launched.
