The permanent campuses of the Mandaue City College (MCC) and the Cebu Technological University (CTU)-Mandaue Campus will soon rise, as construction is set to begin this April.

This was announced by Mayor Thadeo Jovito "Jonkie" Ouano, who added that these campuses will be built at Norkis Park in Barangay Looc.

Ouano said site development and soil testing are already underway, with actual construction expected to start around April once preliminary requirements are completed.

The plans were discussed during a meeting at the mayor's office on Wednesday, January 14, attended by CTU officials led by Transitory Officer-in-Charge of the CTU President's Office Dr. Pet Roey L. Pascual, along with Congresswoman Emmarie "Lollypop" Ouano-Dizon.

Architect Leo Mutia and Engineer Alex Mayor Jr. presented the City Development Plan for the two institutions, which includes a three-storey building for the CTU-Mandaue Campus and an eight-storey structure for the MCC.
