UP ISSI is located in the four-storey building, E.T. Virata Hall which is situated inside the Diliman Campus. It is strategically located at the entrance of the University Campus in Diliman. E. T. Virata Hall, nestles against a backdrop of lush greenery. A covered walkway leads the participants, staff, and guests to the main entrance.
Being an internationally- recognized SME training institution, UP ISSI continues to upgrade existing facilities and invest in state-of-the art equipment to accommodate a growing number of clientele to its expanding catalogue of training courses.
Currently, the Institute runs at least three regular training programs every month. In addition, it permits short-term use of rooms and facilities by outside parties.
Five training classrooms on the third floor of ISSI Bldg. are venues for most of the training programs conducted at the Institute. Three of the rooms are named after prominent Filipino industrialists whose estate provided the seed fund to establish the facility in their honor.
- The Toribio M. Teodoro Room can accommodate up to 80 people,
- The Jose G. Sanvictores Room can sit up to 45 persons.
- The Sotero Baluyut Lee Room has capacity for 45 persons.
Each training room is fully air-conditioned, equipped with slide whiteboards, a mounted projector, and provided with a raised platform and rostrum for the lecturer. Other audio-visual equipment and sound system with theatrical lighting can be installed in the rooms as needed. In preparation for the forthcoming programs that will be conducted via e-Learning mode, the Small Enterprises Research and Development Foundation (SERDEF), UP ISSI’s major private sector partner, has already acquired some basic equipment including a 37” LCD screen, external hard drive, and a laptop.
The IAIC Laboratory, for instrumentation and control trainees, is located on the Ground Floor of the ISSI Building. It can accommodate up to 25 persons. The adjacent IAIC Lecture Room can sit up to 45 persons.
