Context

Background

Universidad del Sagrado Corazon is a private Catholic university located in the Santurce neighborhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico, with approximately 4,500 students enrolled. The campus is situated in an urban area of San Juan, surrounded by active streets including Calle Sagrado Corazon. On August 13, 2025, a break-in occurred at a construction property at Calle Sagrado Corazon 516, directly adjacent to the campus's PG-2 parking lot. The property was under active construction at the time and had no residents. No campus buildings were breached and no members of the campus community were injured. The university's Office of Integrated Security and Risk Management coordinated the response alongside the Puerto Rico Police Department, reinforcing surveillance in the area around the PG-2 parking lot. A formal bilingual security alert was published on the university's official website the following day, August 14, 2025. This is a notably transparent example of a Puerto Rican private university issuing public security alerts for incidents involving property adjacent to but not directly on the campus; the alert was published in both English and Spanish, reflecting the bilingual operations of the institution. Sagrado was previously documented in this archive following Hurricane Maria's devastating September 2017 closure and Hurricane Ernesto's August 2024 disruption).
