Abstract
The Order of Preachers founded the University of Santo Tomas in 1611 in Intramuros, Walled City of Manila. The campus covers an area of 21.5 ha in Sampaloc, Manila. Since its establishment, the university has experienced an increase of enrollment in such a way that in 1927 it was moved from Intramuros to its present site covering an area of 21.5 ha in the district of Sampaloc, Manila. The university has a very important role in the society because of the presence of a university hospital which caters not only the immediate environments. Its sphere of influence is extended nationwide. The unique nature of the university entails variable users, such as students, administrators, faculty, and the staff with regard to the hospital, the medical staff, patients and visitors, and church parishioners. The study utilized the principle of the second man by Edmund Bacon in analyzing the existing structures and elements in the campus. It gives projection on the possible future of how natural heritage and the value of its placemaking sustain and be a major tourist destination.
