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.
Campus Heart, designed by WOHA as a 'Campus-in-a-Park,' features a forested courtyard surrounded by academic buildings.
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.
Campus Court, designed by RSP, faces Coney Island. The buildings in 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.
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.
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.
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.
The Punggol Campus, situated within JTC’s Punggol Digital District (PDD), occupies a total land area of approximately 9 hectares. It comprises two plots known as ‘SIT Campus Heart’ and ‘SIT Campus Court’. SIT Campus Heart occupies 49,000 sqm and has 4 buildings, while SIT Campus Court occupies 42,000 sqm and has 6 buildings.
The move to Punggol will take place in phases, starting from the second half of 2024. We anticipate that the move will be completed within 2025.
Our 'Campus-in-the-park' will be a car-lite district that encourages eco-friendly commuting. Here's what you can expect in terms of transportation options:
This shift embodies our commitment to sustainable and accessible commuting options for everyone at our vibrant new location!
Internal shuttle services will not be available. The Punggol Campus is designed for exploration on foot, featuring designated walkways and link bridges facilitating seamless access between the two plots: SIT Campus Heart and SIT Campus Court.
SIT's existing campuses will gradually be returned to the respective authorities when they are no longer needed. The new campus in Punggol will host all programmes except those offered by The Culinary Institute of America, Singapore (CIA SG). CIA SG will continue to operate from its current location at Temasek Polytechnic.
The public can access some spaces within the Punggol Campus. The campus is designed to foster integration between academia, industry, and the community, promoting greater engagement and collaboration, and enhancing the overall exchange of ideas. As part of this vision, floors from the Campus Boulevard (Level 2) and below, comprising areas such as the Campus Boulevard, Community Park and the Heritage Trail, as well as the food courts and courtyards, will be accessible to the public.
SIT students and staff will have priority access to the facilities and amenities at our 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 student and staff. This inclusive approach helped shape the SIT Punggol Campus concept plan and design requirements.
The final design underwent meticulous review and revision, a process that involved gathering invaluable feedback from key stakeholders of the University. This thorough and inclusive process ensured that the approved design truly reflects the collective vision and needs of our SIT community.
The Punggol Campus will provide a vibrant learning environment that underpins SIT’s applied learning pedagogy. Residing right in the heart of PDD as well as 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:
Campus Heart: Playing field (no drawn lines for football/soccer).
Campus Court: Sports halls (drawn courts include basketball, badminton, volleyball, netball, tchoukball and floorball), tennis courts, bouldering wall, dance studios, martial arts hall and fitness gym.
SIT staff and students may also access additional sporting facilities in the nearby Punggol Regional Sports Centre (five swimming pools, 5,000-seater football stadium) and SAFRA Punggol (bowling, fitness gyms, dance studios, etc.) Standard entrance/subscription fees apply.
There will be a diverse range of F&B, retail, and lifestyle options at the Campus Boulevard of the Punggol Campus.
