The modern three-story building was funded with a PHP50 million grant from PAGCOR, alongside complementary funding from the city government, bringing the total project cost to PHP110 million.

This is the only socio-civic facility with an elevator, making it accessible to elderly and physically challenged visitors.

The facility, located in Sitio Buwisan, Barangay Langkaan II, boasts common toilets on all floors, a multi-purpose area, dining halls, a kitchen, first aid room, storage, and breastfeeding rooms.

It can also accommodate up to 150 modular tents for use as an evacuation center.
