De La Salle University-Manila (DLSU-M) is a private Catholic university located in Taft Avenue in the district of Malate in Manila. It was established on June 16, 1911 by the De La Salle Brothers in Calle Nozaleda in Paco, Manila. It was moved to its present location in 2401, Taft Avenue in 1921. It was a school exclusive for boys until 1973 when it opened its doors to women. The university draws inspiration from the life and the works of the institution's founding father, Saint John Baptist de La Salle. It offers programs in undergraduate and graduate levels covering various fields in business and economics, engineering, liberal arts, education and computer studies.

DLSU-Manila is the oldest and flagship campus of De La Salle Philippines, a university system composed of 18 Lasallian institutions in the Philippines. Because of that, the university is commonly referred to by students and non-students as "La Salle Main". However, the administration discourages the use of the term because all DLSP member schools are independent and not centralized on a main campus.

It is the first of only two universities in the Philippines to earn a Level IV accreditation—the highest possible level—granted by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU). It was given the distinction last April 2002.

Article: SDA Building

The School of Design and Arts Building is a 14-storey academic complex with 65,000 m² of floor space designed by architect Lor Calma for De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. Originally planned to open on January 2006, the building was opened for use on ---, --, 2006 after several construction delays. It sits on a 4,560 m² lot located at Pablo Ocampo St. in Manila. One of De La Salle's most ambitious projects, the SDA Building is the third, largest, and most advanced campus of the College of Saint Benilde.

The building has been dubbed by the president of De La Salle University-Manila, Br. Armin Luistro, FSC as the "jewel in the De La Salle University System's crown". It features a state-of-the-art architectural design with spacious, open-air corridors that is wide enough to double as exhibition spaces. The building also features a theater cantilevered four stories above the ground while the walls of every classroom are tilted for better response to sound.

Contained within the building is DLS-CSB's School of Design and Arts, the busiest school of the college with its nine programs and growing population.
