This iconic landmark will be the hub for collaborative design, and interdisciplinary teaching and learning activities which enable the development and actualisation of ideas, from the whiteboard to the real world. It will provide an open environment to foster interdisciplinary innovations among students and teachers. The state-of-the-art facilities in a collaborative space will enable curriculum innovations that emphasise hands-on and experiential learning activities.
