History

On 26 April 1995, Manila City Ordinance (MCO) No. 7885 entitled “An Ordinance Authorizing the City Government of Manila to Establish and Operate the Dalubhasaan ng Maynila (City College of Manila) and for such other purposes” was approved by Mayor Alfredo Lim. Its principal sponsors were Manila Councilors Nestor Ponce Jr., Humberto Basco and Bernardito Ang. The then-City College of Manila (CCM) was originally located at the 15-storey Old Philippine National Bank Building in Escolta Street, Binondo. Sometime in 2003, the University established its Downtown Campus (UDM Annex) along Carlos Palanca Street in Santa Cruz.

On 26 June 2006, Mayor Lito Atienza approved MCO No. 8120 which renamed the City College of Manila to Universidad de Manila. UdM was also transferred from Binondo to its current location at Cecilia Muñoz Street corner Antonio J. Villegas Street, Mehan Gardens, Ermita.

On its 25th founding anniversary, Universidad de Manila was granted fiscal autonomy by virtue of MCO No. 8635. This ordinance was approved by Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on 27 April 2020 and it states that “the University shall be treated as an independent and institutional department of the City of Manila wherein the management of fiscal, human resources, and all other assets shall be within its control.”

The Downtown Campus was later renamed to Henry Sy Sr. Campus, after the Filipino-Chinese businessman Henry Sy.^[2] Its CMIT Building was renovated and turned over on 22 March 2022.
