The P9.2 million-worth modern theater inside the UP-ICE main building has served as a venue of research colloquia, seminars, and student assemblies since its inauguration in November 2017.

The theater was named after the late Engr. David M. Consunji, one of the institute’s esteemed alumni and acknowledged “Grandfather of Philippine Construction Industry.”
