History

The campus it presently occupies was originally constructed for the Institute of Technology in the 1980s. After a few years of operations, the Institute returned to the campus in Manila.

In 1994, the Far Eastern University celebrated the birth centennial of its founder, Dr. Nicanor B. Reyes Sr., by establishing the FEU Nicanor Reyes Educational Foundation College (stylized as FEU FERN to be distinguished from the medical foundation, FEU-NRMF). The institution then offered baccalaureate courses in Accountancy, Business, and Information Technology.

In March 2018, the school's operations management was turned over from the Nicanor Reyes Educational Foundation to East Asia Computer Center, Inc. (EACCI), the corporation managing the FEU Institute of Technology (FEU Tech).

The shift is particularly advantageous for the school's move to espouse the Business-IT Fusion concept.[6]

Campus

FEU Diliman has the biggest campus among the FEU schools, having 10 hectares (100,000 m2) of land.[9] Because of this, it became an ideal location for upholding FEU's athletic excellence. FEU offers varsity sports in basketball 5x5 & 3x3, volleyball and beach volleyball ,football & futsal, cheerleading, badminton, tennis, swimming, Taekwondo, table tennis and chess.

In 2017, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for a new Basic Education Department Building.[10] Led by FEU chairman Aurelio Montinola III, the event was attended by members of the school's board of trustees, administrators, faculty members, and students. The added structure is a symbol of the school's renewed commitment to address the demands and challenges of 21st-century learning.[10]

FEU Diliman Football Field

Situated within the campus is the FEU Diliman Football Field, the Home of the Tamaraw Football Champions. The World Cup-sized artificial turf football field is a primary venue for hosting UAAP Football competitions and Palarong Pambansa.[11]

FEU Diliman Sports Center

Seeking to develop more homegrown talents, a sports complex was built with the goal of becoming one of the premier college sports programs in the country.

Adding onto the artificial football pitch is the FEU Diliman Sports Center, a 3-storey building housing a maple-wood basketball court, the same flooring used in FIBA World Cup courts in Spain.[11] Officially inaugurated in 2014,[12] the sports center was built to be the home of the FEU varsity teams. It houses the administrative and support services for varsity sports including the Athletics Office, Team Conference Room, Athletes’ Dorm, Shower and Locker Rooms, Therapy Room, Team Tambayan and a Trophy Room.[13][14]
