In a momentous event held on May 19, 2023, the main building of the Philippine National School for the Deaf (PNSD) and Blind (PNSB) was officially recognized as an Important Cultural Property (ICP) by the National Museum of the Philippines during the unveiling ceremony.

The declaration of the building as an ICP highlights its significance as a valuable cultural heritage of the country. With its rich history dating back to 1907, the building has stood as a testament to the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the PNSD and PNSB.
