[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The Central Seminary of the University of Santo Tomas was designed by Fernando Hizon Ocampo Sr.

The boxy building had an elongated frontage assembling a continuous band of balconies and windows on the second and third level.

The structure's horizontally-oriented massing was broken by an engaged central section at the main entrance and two other similar treatments at the end portions.

An art deco relief, bud-like finials, and a tableau embellished the stepped pylon at the entrance.

As heritage sites, they will be accorded protection and recognition, giving importance to their witness of 400 years of tumultuous Philippine history.
