The new SMU Connexion (SMUC) building is located between SMU’s School of Accountancy and School of Law, the new building added 8,565.94 m2 of teaching-and-learning space to SMU’s city campus. It enables seamless connectivity through the entire SMU city campus, as well as provides a sheltered link (aboveground and underground) from Bras Basah Road leading to Fort Canning and Armenian Street. Besides enhancing convenience for the SMU community, it also benefits members of the public, who will have better access to the lush greenery at Fort Canning Park. With some of the new building’s spaces and facilities being open 24/7, it also adds vibrancy to the Bras Basah precinct. To support the University’s SMU-X pedagogy, which focuses on experiential learning through real-world projects, SMU Connexion building is designed to provide new-generation learning spaces that boast flexibility and future adaptability. These include active learning classrooms, the bunks, collaborative zones, social pantry, jamming room, games lounge integrated learning studios, makers space and student lounges. The ample active learning spaces will enable students’ meetings with industry practitioners and faculty, as well as promote socialising. About 500 m2 will also be set aside as incubation spaces for start-ups to provide an environment that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship among SMU students and alumni.
