Here are the list of on-going infrastructure projects in BPSU:

 
 MAIN CAMPUS
 
Construction of Parking and College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) Plant Boxes
Aside from aesthetic consideration, this project is designed to provide specific parking spaces for all kinds of vehicle coming in and out of BPSU Main. The orderly parking condition will enable the campus to comply with basic requirements to safety standards in case of fire and other disasters.

The project started last July 30, 2013 and is expected to be complete by August 2013. The provided fund for this project amounts to P1,154,137.80
 
Repair and Re-roofing of Welding Laboratory
The purpose of this project is to enable welding technology students to have a better working area for their practicum. This can help the students acquire more knowledge and polish their skills through practice. Improvement of working areas is also a must and a requirement for the utilization of new/advanced welding machines in the shop. The re-roofing of the welding laboratory is also a must to protect and provide safety to the faculty and students from environmental factors such as the sun and the rain. 
The re-roofing project started last June 23, 2013 and was completed last July 2013. The provided funds for this project amounts to P1, 170, 152.92. The Repair of the Welding Laboratory project started last July 31, 2013 and its expected completion is on September 2013. The cost of this project amounts to P940,212.39.
 
Construction of Covered Walkways
BPSU has taken another step in order to provide a more convenient atmosphere for the academic community – in the form of covered walkways. Covered walkways that connect nearby buildings are now in the process of construction. This project is conceptualized and brought to life in order to give protection from the sun and rain. This project is the first of the series of improvements that will be made in order to make the University safer and more comfortable to the academic community.
The construction started last August 1, 2013 and is expected to be finished by October 2013. The cost of this project amounts to P891,682.58.
 
College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) Green Building – PHASE II
This project is a two-storey building which was constructed initially from the CDF of Sen. Allan Peter Cayetano, The completion of this project is being funded by BPSU and it will be used by Architecture students. The conceptualization of this project is a first-take on an environment-friendly building in the University. This serves as a great opportunity for the campus to lead in terms of projects that contribute to the preservation and conservation of the environment. This environment-friendly building is designed with minimum dependency on electric energy. It is well-ventilated and will only require minimal air-conditioning system thus reducing the need for electric energy and reduction of air pollutants.
The project started last May, 23 2013 and its target date of completion is on August 2013. For this environment-friendly building, the BPSU provided the amount of P2,650,173.00.
 
Plumbing and Rehabilitation of Water Facilities 
Water is the essential component of all life. It is vital to the survival of every living organism on Earth. Knowing this it is safe to say that water quality is so important because life does not exist, as we know it, without clean water. The original pipeline of the campus is as old as Bataan National School of Arts and Trades (BNSAT), therefore replacement of the old water pipeline is timely and necessary. Leaks are common on its rusty pipes thus contaminating the water making it unsafe for the academic community. Installing new water pipelines and distribution system is cost-effective and can maintain the safety in the institution.
The project started last May 23, 2013 and is expected to be complete on July 1, 2013. The provided funds for this project amounts to PP2,571,817.00.
