CREATE @ NUS UTown
Creating a productive research environment
The Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) is located at the NUS University Town and is designed to house 1,000 researchers and the best minds from all over the world, with the mission of stimulating innovation, discovery and entrepreneurship through the interaction and collaboration of scientists and engineers.
Details
The campus is designed to maximise the interaction among occupants, with the grand stairs connecting all levels while providing visual connection from landscape gardens to adjacent research laboratories. Three-storey vertical sky terraces encourage interaction and communication among researchers.
In keeping with the principles of the UTown master plan, CREATE is designed around a central town plaza, with multiple open spaces for a managed and naturalised landscape.
The campus comprises three blocks of 5 to 7-storey buildings interlaced with plush landscape and a 16-storey tower, sharing a covered pedestrian town plaza. The podium houses NUS student amenities at the plaza level, and CREATE’s exhibition and seminar facilities are located at the second storey.
An environmentally sustainable and energy efficient laboratory facility, a universal module is designed in the buildings to allow easy setup and re-configuration of the laboratories for maximum flexibility. The flexible shell space can be configured to various types of laboratories ranging from computational science, wet, biology or chemistry labs, to data centre, to quality offices.
In collaboration with Perkins+Will.
