Singapore Management University (SMU) announced last Friday that they will embarking on a two-year development project that promises to bring back the 'Bras Basah spirit'.
Under the $20 million makeover, the campus in the civic district will see new seminar rooms, group study spaces, a new Amphitheatre and more features that add additional learning, teaching and group study spaces to its current campus. "By 2017 when the project is completed, I envisage that Campus Green will be a ‘playground’ where students, stakeholders, and members of the public will interact and mingle; formally and informally; through performances, fitness activities and sports," says SMU President Professor Arnoud De Meyer. "Building upon our existing close partnership and strong ties with our community, I am confident that SMU Campus Green can become the pulsating heartbeat of the Bras Basah precinct once again".
The expansion is very welcome news for the current SMU 8,800 undergraduate, postgraduate, executive and professional, full-and part-time students, as the campus was originally built for a capacity of 6,000.
