I will give you a campus tour=) @Singapore University of Design and Technology

Located in the Changi area close to Singapore's international airport, SUTD’s campus is brand-new and compact. It has 4 academic buildings, 5 housing blocks and a sports and recreation centre. A campus map can be found at the lobby of SUTD’s main building, making a self-guided campus tour effortless for visitors.  

SUTD is big on going green and it is reflected in the design of its campus. The buildings and common areas are maximized in terms of natural ventilation, thus reducing the need of air-conditioning. It is impossible to completely eradicate aircon usage since it is summer all year long!

There are 4 Buildings in the academic clusters – Building 1, 2, 3 & 5.
The broad categories of the facilities housed in these Buildings are:
•    Think Tank (Classrooms) – mostly in Buildings 1 & 2
•    Capstone (Classrooms) – mostly in Buildings 1 & 2
•    Labs – scattered throughout the 4 academic Buildings
•    Auditorium & Lecture Theaters – mostly in Buildings 1 & 2
•    Different offices – faculty offices in Building 1, other offices mostly in Building 3

The library is located at Building 1 of the SUTD campus, and it is right at the main lobby/drop off porch of SUTD’s main entrance, so you won’t really miss it. The favorite place among many students in SUTD, it is a place for both studying and unwinding. The library has a good collection of sample materials and designing tools on display. These can be used by students on design tracks. Some of the outstanding work from current students are also on display, as well.

The Pavilion of Kindred Spirits

The Pavilion of Kindred Spirits (??? in Chinese) is an opera stage that originated from Xietang Town, Yiwu City, Jinhua region of Zhejiang Province, China. It was thought to have been constructed between the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period as a community opera stage that was built with the funds from donations by local gentry.

After the pavilion was donated to SUTD, the past opera stage underwent restoration works as the caisson (a main timbre species) used was in poor condition. The restoration works took about one year and was completed in December 2014 at its present location in SUTD.
