Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Implementing Advanced Construction Technologies (ACT) in State University Campus Infrastructure Projects

This study explored the challenges and opportunities in using Advanced Construction Technologies (ACT) in campus infrastructure projects, with a focus on Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU). Technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), drones, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have shown potential to improve efficiency, cost management, and sustainability in construction. Using a structured survey answered by 15 key stakeholders involved in university construction, the study found high awareness but no actual use of these technologies at PSAU. Key barriers include budget constraints, lack of training, and technical skills. Despite these challenges, stakeholders believe that ACT can offer major benefits, including better project efficiency, sustainability, and decision-making. The study suggests steps universities can take to support ACT integration in future infrastructure projects.
