Meanwhile, the International Studio (IS) which was built to address the need for a state-of-the-art facility for online learning and multimedia production was also launched making the International Affairs Office at par with its foreign partner institutions. The IS which received a funding support from Senator Sonny Angara will provide an enabling environment for local and foreign students under the student mobility endeavors of the university.

Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, University President expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to the establishment of the two buildings, specifically those who provided funding support as well as the previous Administration of Dr. Edgar A. Orden, former President and currently the VP for Research and Extension, and Dr. Renato G. Reyes, former VP for Academic Affairs, who started the conceptualization and realization of these projects during their term. City Councilor Vincent L. Alvarez who represented Vice Mayor Nestor L. Alvarez provided a response and commended the recent infrastructure developments in CLSU compared to the time when he was still a student.
