The University held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Dr. Jeimylo and Kyna de Castro Research Center Building on June 20, 2025, marking a new milestone in AUP’s ongoing pursuit of truth through Christ-centered research.
Donated by the de Castro family, this building is envisioned as a permanent home for the institution’s expanding research initiatives.
“This is God’s opportunity to show that He is in control,” shared University President Dr. Arceli H. Rosario. “We commit to excellence toward the research center. This will be a venue where God’s truth will be permanent. We will conduct studies that will glorify God.”
Reflecting on the journey of AUP’s research ministry, Vice President for Academics Dr. Gracel Ann Saban recalled its humble beginnings in the late 1970s. “Back then, research was just a small office in the library. Now, it will finally have its own home. Praise God for His faithfulness.”
More than a building, the research center represents a sacred space where students, faculty, and scholars will be nurtured in the AUP’s mission of “offering quality Bible-based education that develops Christ-like character and prepares people for service.” Construction is set to begin within the year, with the clear intention that this center will be a hub for God-honoring discovery and transformative knowledge.
