CatSU unveils Bike Park & Repair Station, promoting sustainable transportation on campus
ExtensionThe Catanduanes
State University (CatSU) has recently unveiled the CatSU Recycled Bike Park and
Repair Station, a collaborative effort among CatSU, Catanduanes Cyclist United
(CCU), and Sinag Kabataan.
Led by CatSU
alumnus Mr. Fred Gianan, the project has been successfully completed and is now
ready to serve the CatSU community.
The idea for the
Bike Park and Repair Station was presented by Gianan to CatSU President Dr.
Patrick Alain T. Azanza during a visit in February. Dr. Azanza immediately
showed support and directed Gianan to Engr. Benjamin Hannycel Nuyda, the
Planning and Development Services Director and Building and Grounds Services
(BGS) Director. This collaboration reflects CatSU's commitment to promoting
sustainable initiatives and supporting the interests of the community.
Engr. Nuyda,
leveraging his expertise and engagement with various university stakeholders,
proposed using metal scrap from CatSU as the foundation for the Bike Park. This
innovative approach not only repurposes materials but also contributes to the
campus's eco-friendly atmosphere.
"The Bike Park
and Repair Station will greatly benefit the CatSU community by providing a
dedicated space for cyclists and promoting an active lifestyle," shared
Engr. Nuyda.
He emphasized that
the repair station will be a valuable resource for bike maintenance and
repairs, ensuring that cyclists on campus have the necessary support.
Gianan expressed
his gratitude to Dr. Azanza, Engr. Nuyda, Mr. Florian Avila (CCU President),
and the CatSU student volunteers for their valuable contributions to the
project. Their assistance, efforts, and collaboration have been instrumental in
the successful establishment of the Bike Park and Repair Station.
Dr. Azanza
commended Engr. Nuyda, Gianan, and Avila for their outstanding work.
"This
initiative is a testament to CatSU's commitment to sustainability and providing
facilities that enhance the campus experience for our beloved CatSUans."
He also extended
his congratulations to Gianan for his leadership in bringing the project to
fruition. #CIV
