UNP isn’t just a University; it’s a guardian of history, nestled in the heart of Vigan, the Philippines’ only UNESCO World Heritage City. Talk about a prime location!

This isn’t your average campus. UNP is surrounded by centuries of culture, from Spanish colonial architecture to traditional Ilocano lifestyles. And they’re not just admiring the view – they’re on their toes to keep this heritage alive.

UNP has teamed up with the City of Vigan, and neighboring towns on a mission to safeguard their cultural treasures. They’re not just preserving old buildings; they’re keeping the soul of the region intact. From mapping cultural hotspots to assessing damage on historic structures, UNP is on the case.

But they’re not stuck in the past. UNP is blending old and new, finding clever ways to repurpose heritage sites for modern use. They’re even shaping policies, and crafting ordinances to protect these gems for future generations.

The best part? UNP is turning Vigan City into a living laboratory for its students. Architecture, and Environmental Planning majors aren’t just hitting the books; they’re out there, getting their hands creative, with real-world heritage conservation projects.

From documenting centuries-old buildings to planning sustainable urban spaces, UNP is at the forefront of keeping Ilocano culture thriving. They’re not just educating students; they’re cultivating the next generation of heritage guardians. That’s the UNP way – honoring the past while building a sustainable future.
