Building Research Service (BRS)
On 29 July 1971, the Building Research Service (BRS) was created to foster and undertake integrated research, advisory, and information dissemination on building and housing in the Philippines.

Through the years, BRS has actively pursued research on the development of building materials, products, and processes consistent with the principles of waste minimization and reduction of negative impacts on health and environment. It has also worked on developing and enhancing testing procedures and standards for new and indigenous building materials and technology. Moreover, BRS performs laboratory and field tests for both government and private entities, accepts contract research, provides consultancy and testing services, and develops training programs.
In March 16, 2005, the UP BRS received the PCIERD-DOST "Kabalikat Award" for its invaluable support and contribution to S&T as a long-time partner of PCIERD in R&D activities in the construction sector.
The Building Research Service is headed by Dr. Nathaniel B. Diola (center) as Director. On the left is Ms. Leiby Leita S. Tubeio and on the right is Ms. Narcissa P. Angelias.

Back to topNational Center for Transportation Studies (NCTS)
Transport Training Center (TTC) was established on 12 July 1976 to upgrade the capability of government personnel concerned with transportation through intensive and practical training in the fields of traffic engineering, planning and management. Then in 1993, TTC was renamed and is now referred to as the National Center for Transportation Studies (NCTS).
For over three decades, the NCTS has worked in supporting academic instruction, promoting and conducting scholarly research and training, information dissemination, and other extension services in the field of transportation. Presently, NCTS is actively promoting the development and greater use of sustainable modes of transportation and doing research activities, in cooperation with concerned government agencies, towards the development of a well-integrated national transportation system.

A Training Course for Public Utility Drivers (Bus Drivers and Conductors), August 29 to 31, 2007. Participants were given an exam to test what they have learned in the training.
National Hydraulic Research Center (NHRC)
Established in 1973 as a unit of the University, the National Hydraulic Research Center (NHRC) was created to conduct research and provide technical advice on various problems of water resources development and management, hydrology, hydraulic, coastal engineering, fluid mechanics, and other related field.
In its more than three decades of existence, NHRC has developed and serves as the national center for water-resource expertise and provides the support organization and physical facilities for conducting the necessary physical and mathematical modeling research and producing technical outputs, studies, and advice in water resources engineering and management needed by government and the private sector. Most of these studies involve the evaluation of proposed dams, hydroelectric plants, irrigation works, water supply systems, ports and harbors, and flood control structures.
Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (TCAGP)
The Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (TCAGP) was established in 1964 and continues to be a center of excellence for education, training, and research in the fields of surveying and mapping in the Philippines.
In 2001, the Center has introduced major changes in its Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) short course offerings and has made training schedules more convenient for prospective clients. Coupled with the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, selected short courses have been updated and have been revised to impart knowledge that is more responsive and relevant to the needs of the government agencies, industry, and private individuals engaged in the inventory and planning of natural resources.
