The Optimization of School Renovation and Application of Green Facade towards Sustainability is an extension project that exemplifies Cebu Technological University – Main Campus’ strong commitment to fostering environmental responsibility and sustainable innovation. Implemented last June 19–20, 23–24, and July 1, 2025, at Arcelo Memorial National High School, Poblacion, Municipality of Liloan, Cebu, the project aimed to transform traditional learning spaces into eco-friendly and energy-efficient environments through renovation and the integration of green architectural features.

Spearheaded by Civil and Mechanical Engineering under the College of Engineering Community Extension Team (COECET), the initiative was led by Project Leader Arch. Alaine Tess Cabije led the initiative, along with Dr. Lawrence T. Orjalesa, Dr. Hana Astrid Canseco-Tunacao, and Dr. Jeonel S. Lumbab, as well as Engr. Ryan P. Luciano and Engr. Leo Nhel D. Abao. Ryan P. Luciano, Engr. Leo Nhel D. Abao, Engr. Teresita B. Capin, Engr. Marvin A. Radaza, Engr. Marlito V. Patunob, and Engr. Deolinda E. Caparroso.

This project reflects CTU Main Campus’ dedication to promoting green infrastructure and sustainable learning environments. Through collaborative efforts, classrooms and facilities were renovated, and green facades—plant-based vertical coverings for walls were installed to encourage natural cooling, reduce carbon emissions, and create a refreshing atmosphere conducive to learning.

Beyond infrastructure enhancement, the initiative also served as a platform for environmental awareness and community participation, inspiring students, teachers, and residents to uphold the values of sustainability and shared responsibility for the environment.

The optimization of the school renovation and application of the green facade towards the sustainability project concluded with strengthened partnerships, inspired participants, and a renewed commitment to advancing green and sustainable practices across local schools and communities.
