History

In March 2017, Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas and Laguna President Dr. Peter P. Laurel paid a courtesy call during a regular session of the City Council. Laurel unveiled his plans to establish a world-class university in Davao City by 2018, the hometown of LPU alumnus and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.[2]

On May 28, 2018, LPU and Cebu Landmasters, Inc. inked a deal to develop a university town in a 17-hectare property near Davao International Airport. The LPU Town Center will feature a convention center, a hotel, condominium units, restaurants, and other business establishments, aside from the university buildings.[3] 5.2 hectares of property is allocated for the campus alone.[4]

The first commencement exercise of the Senior High School department was livestreamed on August 14, 2021.[7] The ceremony trended on social media as netizens commended the institution's creativity to deliver a memorable graduation to students amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
