NIH Building

Any historical tracing of the National Institutes of Health is deeply tied to the building in which it is housed. The current NIH Building is located along Pedro Gil Street in the University of the Philippines Manila campus. Inaugurated on 18 April 1997 during the term of Chancellor Perla D. Santos-Ocampo, this three-story building houses the NIH facilities such as its Central Laboratories and administrative offices of most of its Institutes and Centers, all basked in the beige exterior which complements the general façade of buildings around the UP Manila campus.
