New UP Clarkfield Permanent Site
On June 22, 2007, in what can be the centerpiece of UP’s fifty-four-year-old existence in the province, the CDC turned over to the university a 3.28-hectare lot for UP Clarkfield’s permanent site. The site was given in a dramatic groundbreaking ceremony capped by an emotional alumni homecoming.
The new site is to be developed jointly by UP and CDC into a university town. When completed, it will make the Clark Freeport one of the few progressive special economic zones in the world to have an institution of higher learning in its premises. The proposed plan of the permanent campus will include a main building, a student and faculty dormitory, a gymnasium, a regional-cultural studies center and an alumni center. Today, it is serving as the intellectual capital of Region III, is recruiting the brightest in the region and has established an admirable record of intellectual and institutional accomplishments.

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or site:
“I believe that there was a great age, a great epoch when man did not make war: previous to 2000 B.C. Then the self had not really become aware of itself, it had not separated itself off, the spirit was not yet born, so there was no internal conflict, and hence no permanent external conflict.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
