CLR-DA located on the 7th and 8th floors of the Design + Arts Campus, houses materials that support DA programs. Its collection focuses on art and design, including books, periodicals, audiovisual materials, and memorabilia. The Learning Commons within CLR-DA provides a space for discussions and collaboration. Also within CLR-DA is the Material Resources Hub (MRH); a hub of creativity and innovation. It features cutting-edge material samples and sustainable technologies, integrating Material Connexion’s expertise with contributions from local industry partners and Benilde programs. More than a display, MRH encourages exploration, pushing the Benildean community to experiment, innovate, and create impactful solutions.
The School of Environment and Design, in partnership with the Center for Learning Resources, unveils an innovative space named the Material Resources Hub (MRH), a pioneering initiative in the country.
The establishment of the MRH received funding from the DOST’s Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) program.
Within the MRH, students can explore an array of material samples and resources relevant to their designs, encompassing clothing, furniture, interior spaces, architectural design, and more, aiding them in their specifications.
This space serves as an exhibition ground for distinctive items, offering students the opportunity to experience the tactile qualities of products firsthand, moving beyond mere digital representations.
