WORK environments with the look and feel of a dynamic university are being introduced by Ayala Land to rapidly growing industries, particularly the business-process outsourcing (BPO) sector.

Picking up from successful models abroad like Silicon Valley and the Infosys campuses in India, the premier real-estate firm is building two IT campuses in the next two years. A cluster of low-rise buildings built around a central amenity like a park or a lake, this new office format “creates a conducive workplace for young employees who are more at home with the informality and less-structured ambiance of the university rather than the corporate appeal of the office tower,” according to Marivic Añonuevo, head of Ayala Land’s Corporate Business Group.

Located in Canlubang, Laguna, the proposed 30-hectare technology campus is envisioned by Ayala Land to be a regional growth center. The community was recently named Nuvali and will encompass business, retail and entertainment spaces built around a vast lake with an area of 40,000 sq m.

Ayala Land will kick off the Nuvali community with the construction of an IT campus. The campus’s first building, a four-story structure, offers 10,805 sq m of office space. Along with other key amenities of Nuvali, the BPO building to be completed in 2008 will be oriented toward the spacious lake.

“This workplace will be serene and close to nature while offering the energy and dynamism of a university,” says Añonuevo. Appropriately, this IT campus was recently named the Technopod at Nuvali.

For business owners, Ayala Land offers the advantage of being able to quickly construct more cost-efficient buildings as needed in its vast Technopod location. The company can also put up minicampuses dedicated for a specific client if that is desired.

The Canlubang development is likewise envisioned as a fully integrated community with retail, commercial, residential, transport and even recreational components.

Locator firms are also visited often by clients and regional executives who need accommodations near their places of work. Thus, a BPO or IT campus will also usually include a businessman’s hotel. All these requirements can easily be met by Ayala Land or its subsidiaries engaged in property management, commercial leasing and the hotel industry.
