Led by the University Chairman Atty. Wilfrido L. Enverga, Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) conducted a benchmarking visit to Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City on April 20, 2026. 

The visit covered several key areas of the Ateneo campus, including an introductory meeting at the College Athletics Conference Room in the Blue Eagle Gym, a tour of the AShop, and visits to both the Old and New Rizal Library. These activities gave the MSEUF delegation firsthand insight into Ateneo's best practices in university operations, facilities management, and student services. The benchmarking was particularly significant for MSEUF's own library development efforts, as the Rizal Library, one of the most advanced academic libraries in the country, served as a model for enhancing library infrastructure, digital resources, and research support services.

This benchmarking visit is expected to yield meaningful improvements across various facets of university life at MSEUF. Insights gathered from Ateneo's facilities, sustainability initiatives, and academic support systems will inform the university's ongoing development plans, from upgrading library collections and spaces to strengthening administrative and sustainability frameworks. Ultimately, the visit reflects MSEUF's commitment to continuous institutional improvement, ensuring that its students, faculty, and staff benefit from a learning environment that meets the highest standards of Philippine higher education.

MSEUF engages in a meaningful discussion with representatives of Ateneo De Manila University for the improvement of the campus.
The Blue Eagle Gym of Ateneo de Manila University, one of the premier collegiate sports facilities in the Philippines, served also as a patrern for the development of the facilities in the university.
