From September 2024, we are consolidating our six satellite campus locations and progressively moving into Singapore’s first smart district, the Punggol Digital District, which is master-planned and developed by JTC.
With its award-winning sustainable features, the new SIT Punggol Campus serves as a vibrant innovation hub for students, industry and community, bringing applied learning and research to life.
Our new campus, located next to the JTC Business Park in Punggol, faces the Coney Island waterfront and offers modern learning facilities. The spaces are purpose-built to foster strong industry connections and support flexible learning, with state-of-the-art labs to enable learning in an authentic environment.
Engage in authentic learning experiences with real-world systems.
Students will engage in authentic learning experiences and problem-solving opportunities through the real-world systems in our Living Labs. Our collaborations with the industry and community to co-develop solutions via translational research, build impactful solutions and nurture talent will also add to the district’s buzz.
The teams from WOHA Architects and RSP Architects Planners & Engineers are the visionaries behind SIT's centralised campus in Punggol.
SIT Campus Heart, designed by WOHA as a 'Campus-in-a-Park,' features a forested courtyard surrounded by academic buildings.
SIT Campus Court, designed by RSP Architects, incorporates green technologies, including natural daylight harvesting and solar panels. Two of its buildings are certified as Super Low Energy buildings. SIT Campus Court welcomed its first students from the Business, Communication and Design (BCD) and Infocomm Technology (ICT) Clusters in September 2024.
SIT Campus Court, designed by RSP, faces Coney Island. The buildings in SIT Campus Court incorporate green technologies, including natural daylight harvesting and solar panels. The Kwek Leng Beng University Tower, Ho Bee Auditorium, indoor sports hall, and Super Low Energy buildings can be found here.
SIT Campus Court was designed with the concept of a courtyard in mind — to create a fluid learning and campus experience. We placed emphasis on creating spaces that promote interaction and participation, through the inclusion of many big and small courtyards, with hard and soft landscapes. These conducive spaces become natural centrifugal forces that bring people together to foster an exchange of ideas and for learning to take place, even outside the classrooms.
SIT Campus Heart is a "Campus-in-a-Park" designed by WOHA Architects. Uniquely endowed with an existing secondary forest, the design capitalises on this green site asset by integrating its learning environments with biophilic indoor-outdoor tropical spaces.
To forge an evocative “Campus-in-a-Park” identity, the academic blocks are organised as a chain of buildings encompassing the central forest courtyard, which has been transformed into an accessible Community Park.
SIT Campus Heart serves as the heart of SIT, contributing to a strong sense of place characterised by memorable nodes for learning, interaction, recreation and rejuvenation. You can find the library, a sheltered event plaza, and the Hatchery building here.
Specially designed to integrate with industry and community, the Punggol Campus strengthens our ability to deliver an industry-focused, applied learning education for students.
SIT’s Punggol Campus, situated within JTC’s Punggol Digital District (PDD), occupies a total land area of approximately nine hectares. It comprises two plots known as ‘SIT Campus Heart’ and ‘SIT Campus Court’. SIT Campus Heart occupies 4.9 hectares and has four buildings, while SIT Campus Court occupies 4.2 hectares and has six buildings.
The phased move to Punggol has been taking place since May 2024. Our Business, Communication and Design (BCD) and Infocomm Technology (ICT) clusters have started Academic Year 2024 at Punggol Campus. We anticipate that the move will be completed in the earlier part of 2025.
Our 'Campus-in-the-park' will be a car-lite district that encourages eco-friendly commuting. Here are the various transportation options:
This shift embodies our commitment to sustainable and accessible commuting options for everyone at our vibrant new location!
The carpark operator is CBM Parking and charges are as follows:
Vehicle Type | Period | Parking Charges (inclusive of GST) |
Cars | Mondays to Fridays | |
Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays | | |
Heavy Vehicle | Mondays to Sundays and Public Holidays | |
Motorcycle | Mondays to Sundays and Public Holidays | |
Given its connectivity and proximity to the Punggol Coast MRT station and the future bus interchange, chartered bus services will not be provided to Punggol Campus. The public transportation options nearby aim to facilitate easy access for all students and staff commuting to the campus.
There are no internal shuttle services. Punggol Campus is designed for exploration on foot, featuring designated walkways and link bridges that facilitate seamless access between the two plots: SIT Campus Court and SIT Campus Heart, when the latter is completed.
SIT's existing campuses will gradually be returned to the authorities when they are no longer needed.
Punggol Campus is envisioned to be more than just an educational institution, it will be a vibrant hub that benefits the community. The porous design allows the public to interact with the SIT community through various touchpoints.
The public can access some spaces within the Punggol Campus. Floors from Campus Boulevard (Level 2) and below, comprising areas such as the Community Park, Heritage Trail, Makerspace, visitor centre and food courts will be accessible to the public.
SIT students and staff will have priority access to the facilities and amenities at Punggol Campus. Requests by external parties will be managed on a case-by-case basis.
The journey towards creating our campus at Punggol was a collaborative effort from the get-go. From 2016 to 2019, we conducted numerous visioning workshops, ideation and brainstorming sessions, as well as interviews with over 500 students and staff. This inclusive approach helped shape the Punggol Campus concept plan and design requirements.
The final design underwent a comprehensive review, which involved gathering feedback from key university stakeholders. This thorough and inclusive process ensured that the approved design truly reflects the collective vision and needs of our SIT community.
Punggol Campus will provide a vibrant learning environment that underpins SIT’s applied learning pedagogy. Residing right in the heart of PDD and the Punggol heartland creates many opportunities for cross-collaboration between SIT, industry and the community. Students and faculty staff will be involved in applied research projects as well as community activities.
Such collaborations enable our students to stay competitive amid the fast-evolving skill sets required by industry and groom them to seamlessly transition into their chosen careers. SIT students will especially benefit from these partnerships, by leveraging the expertise of industry through ‘industry teaching laboratories’ as well as the Living Labs.
There are several dedicated spaces for students. These areas, from cosy study nooks to collaborative project zones, are specially designed to support our students’ study sessions and project work.
The available sporting facilities include:
SIT Campus Heart: Playing field (no drawn lines for football/soccer).
SIT Campus Court: Multipurpose halls (drawn courts include basketball, badminton, volleyball, netball, tchoukball and floorball), tennis courts, bouldering wall, dance studios, martial arts hall and fitness gym.
The operating hours of the food court located at Block E4 at Campus Court are as follows:
Monday to Friday: 7.30 am to 7.30 pm
Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays: 8.30 am to 7.30 pm
There will also be a diverse range of F&B, retail, and lifestyle options in Punggol Campus and its immediate vicinity. The list of tenants will be announced at a later date.
As part of our waste reduction efforts, disposable takeaway packaging will not be provided at our foodcourt located at Block E4 at Campus Court. You may either Bring Your Own cups/ containers or use our Green Takeaway. The operator has made available Green Takeaway i.e. customers who wish to order takeaways could loan reusable cups or containers from the stallholders at a fee, which includes a refundable deposit. More details are available at the foodcourt.
