A leading global university centered in Asia, the National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship university, which offers a global approach to education and research, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise. It is home to the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials – the world’s first institute dedicated to the design, synthesis, and application of Functional Intelligent Materials.

Designed for the entire NUS community, University Town, or UTown® for short, is strategically integrated with the NUS Kent Ridge Campus via a vehicle and pedestrian bridge. An educational hub complete with residential spaces, teaching facilities and study clusters, UTown® has created a lively intellectual, social and cultural environment that distinguishes the University through excellence in learning and student engagement.

Leading the charge towards environmental sustainability, UTown® is one of the latest green building projects undertaken by NUS. Specially built around existing trees, the state-of-the-art Education Resource Centre and Stephen Riady Centre were awarded the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum.
