designed as naturally conditioned to embrace the outdoors. Each tower is designed with a degree of architectural autonomy and identity – articulated windows with protruding sunshades adorn the facades of Cinnamon and Tembusu residential colleges, for instance. Cinnamon and Tembusu were the first two residential colleges to be developed, and are planned adjacent to one another with shared dining facilities. As a measure of structural efficiency, large-span spaces like the multi-purpose hall and dining hall are designed as stand-alone buildings, freed from having to support tower loads from above. Faculty offices, seminar and theme rooms are organised along the main pedestrian thoroughfare as pavilions. Primary entrances to the colleges are located along the campus’ internal pedestrian thoroughfare, while vehicular drop-offs and service access points are planned along the external ring road.
ACADEMICS With a strong research agenda, UTown will host the National Research Foundation’s Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) – an environmentally-sustainable and energyefficient international research campus and innovation hub. CREATE hosts interdisciplinary research centres from top universities and corporate laboratories, such as the SingaporeMIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), the SAP Singapore Research Centre, as well as technology incubators and start-ups. UTown is also site to an EduSports complex which combines education, sports and performing arts spaces.
