The Community College was officially renamed to De La Salle University-College of Saint Benilde in 1988, after the establishment of the De La Salle University System. Saint Benilde was selected as the namesake of the college to symbolize its objective of providing innovative education for the verbally but not numerically gifted, late bloomers, handicapped, as well as artists. Saint Benilde made room for his students in Clermont-Ferrand in France no matter what age or mental level they have.

Initially, the program was undertaken in consortium with the College of Liberal Arts. The college first offered a Certificate Program in Accounting for the deaf in 1991.

The School of Design and Arts Building (SDA Building) is a 14-storey academic complex with 55,121.95 m²[23] of usable floor space designed by Lor Calma Design and Associates, with Eduardo (Ed) Calma as the design principal. It was built on a 4,560 m² lot that was formerly used as parking space for the college, located at 950 Pablo Ocampo Street, and about 500 meters away from the Taft Campus. It was originally planned to open in January 2006, but due to construction delays, the opening was moved to May 2007. It is the third, largest, and most advanced campus of the college which houses its largest and busiest school, the School of Design and Arts. While the exact budget for the building is classified, an estimated amount of 1.2 billion pesos was said to be alloted for the whole building project.[24][25] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high resolution version (1280x960, 269 KB) Summary A glimpse of DLS-CSB SDA Bldg. ...

The opening date of the building was moved to September 2006 when the January 2006 opening cannot be pushed through,[24] but due to construction delays again, a September opening was not possible and the administration hoped for a May 2007 opening instead.[28] The building was delayed due to the intricacy of the architectural design, implementation of the complicated plans, and other problems encountered with the Project Manager and the Contractor. The architectural plans presented design issues which made it difficult to implement plans at a steady rate and construction management encountered conflicts in approach and principles of the onsite technical team. Subsequent need to reevaluate and readjust operational and resource allocation further contributed to the delay.[28] The construction however, gained a steady pace after October 2006 and was completed and inaugurated on April 2007.


The building has four floors of above-level parking space and ten floors of usable workspace served by two service and five passenger elevators and five sets of stairs.
