10 September 2019 – The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) will commence construction works for its centralised campus in Punggol after the groundbreaking ceremony on 10 September 2019, officiated by Guest-of-Honour, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The campus, situated in the Punggol Digital District (PDD) will strengthen SIT’s position as an industry-focused university of applied learning with close ties to the community.
The future SIT campus will consolidate SIT’s operations, and will be able to accommodate 12,000 students – nearly twice the combined capacity of SIT’s current distributed campuses. Occupying a total land area of approximately 91,000 square metres over two plots of land, the centralised SIT campus will have a total gross floor area of around 253,000 square metres. Expected to be ready by 2023, the SIT campus is envisioned to provide students with a full-fledged university learning environment and experience.
