Cafeteria/Restaurant 

According to Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, requisites for human survival must be satisfied before higher requisites can be met. His five-tier triangular model cites physiological needs in the base. The university is committed to providing students with affordable yet safe and healthy food options via its cafeteria. With the relaxing sound of the water stream gushing nearby, students, faculty, staff, and stakeholders can enjoy diverse variety of local delicacies, street food, and drinks like coffee and iced teas to meet their basic food necessities. CPSU’s cafeteria showcases food options that reflect the Filipino country-side food culture. 

Bookstore

Central Philippines State University is located nineteen kilometers away from the business district within the City of Kabankalan. Bookstores are typically found in the metropolitan area which is accessible to stakeholders by multiple means of transportation i.e. bus, jeepney, and tricycle. Apart from that, the University’s library welcomes stakeholders and visitors, offering an array of references and media from diverse fields. Accommodating library staff provides clients with assistance in sourcing the references and other learning materials that they need. 

Social Room(s)

The Philippines being a tropical country, experiences humid and warm dry seasons which delimits the use of open area mass-gathering facilities as conducive venues for the university’s activities. Taking this into consideration, the Accreditation Center, Mount Ballo Hall, and the Research Development and Extension Center Conference Room, are designed with sufficient air-conditioning to combat rising temperatures brought by the country's natural climate conditions. They are also equipped with audio-visual equipment and designed with comfortable seats to provide learners and visitors with the optimal learning and socializing experiences. 

The university perceives the importance of having social gathering venues to cater to multiple events, prioritizing the comfort of the attendees and attaining the objectives of the events and nurturing the sense of community among stakeholders through providing conducive physical environments. 

Support Center for Minority Groups 

The CPSU Heritage Center has advocated the preservation of the university, the locality, and the country’s tangible and intangible culture. Nevertheless, it has not only looked out for the preservation culture of the majority group of the body but is also a stronghold for support over the minority groups thriving in the University. The archipelagic structure of the country has cultivated rich cultural diversities and other political differences among Filipinos. With CPSU being a melting pot of the majority and minority groups in and beyond Negros Island, it recognizes the need for a safe space to ensure that these minorities can be heard and supported.

The university’s chapel is situated in the university’s horseshoe park, which is an uphill area with an overlooking view of the city’s agricultural fields in the distance. The topography allows a short pilgrimage, modeled after significant religious events pilgrimages. Surrounded by trees and shrubs, solemn catholic masses are held from time to time in the facility. Welded steel materials were used as walls in the construction of the chapel, allowing visitors to see the vegetation outside and to have a meditative experience with nature. Behind the chapel, is the “CPSU Legacy Park” which houses flora and fauna protected by the university and can accommodate for more spiritual activities even overnight camps.

The Free Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) features of CPSU are strategically installed in areas where they can still connect to nature and the community. Green areas with benches are used by students as communal spaces for work and meetings—helping them overcome the physical and social isolation that comes with increased digitalization. Under the decades-old trees, the youth can lounge and meet with their schoolmates for their projects, and other collaborative endeavors in a lax mood to recuperate despite their workloads.

A freshwater stream from the uplands within the CPSU reserve provides the pool with a sufficient, clean, and free-flowing water supply for its operation.

Outdoor Sports Courts

For a basketball and volleyball-crazed country like the Philippines, makeshift outdoor sports courts are a staple in Filipino neighborhoods. Inspired by this concept, Central Philippines State University provides outdoor sports courts for Basketball and Volleyball enthusiasts. The outdoor sports courts help students unwind from stressful academic activities by being a venue for de-stressing among team sports enthusiasts. It is also a venue for the members of the community to socialize and bond. Cenphilians spend early mornings and late afternoons engaging in team sports on the outdoor sports courts. The fresh air breezing through players and onlookers creates a lax atmosphere, mimicking laid-back Filipino mornings and afternoons where the community comes together and plays indigenous games.
