Palma Hall (more commonly known today as "AS" to the UP Community) is located on Roxas Avenue along the Academic Oval of the University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City. As one of the first buildings of U.P. Diliman since the approval of the transfer of U.P. Manila to Diliman, the responsibility of building Palma Hall fell on the shoulders of the first campus architect, Cesar Homero Rosales Concio. It was named after Rafael Palma (1874-1939), who served as president of the university from 1923 to 1933. It was formerly known as the Liberal Arts Building from 1951 to 1959, the Arts and Sciences or AS Building from 1960 to 1983, and now as the College of Social Science and Philosophy or CSSP Building from 1984 to present time. It currently houses the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP).

Palma Hall is also where most of the courses of the Revitalized General Education Program (RGEP) are being held, thus making it one of the most frequented buildings in the university. Because of its strategic location and space, it is also where special events and activities are held, such as student demonstrations, miting de advances, student organization booths and exhibits, as well as the famous Oblation Run, among others.

It is the place to see other students and to be seen. In more ways than one, Palma Hall or AS is the heart of the UP Diliman
