Cultural Center

The beautifully restored former Nanyang University Administration Building is now home to the Chinese Heritage Center.

Overlooking the historical Yunnan Garden, the national monument is a favorite backdrop for photo-ops among NTU's students, alumni, and visitors.


A Historic Arch

The Nanyang University Memorial and original Nanyang University Arch were also declared national monuments of Singapore in 1998.

The NTU Art & Heritage Museum is an approved public museum under the National Heritage Board’s Approved Museum Scheme; benefactors who donate artworks and artefacts to NTU enjoy double tax deductions.

The main campus is a 200-ha residential, garden campus located in the south-western part of Singapore, near the Jurong West Extension area. This campus is easily accessible by two expressways, the Pan-island Expressway (PIE) and Kranji Expressway (KJE). It is also near the Boon Lay bus interchange and the Boon Lay Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station.
NTU’s second campus is located at NTU@one-north, right next to the Biopolis, Singapore's biomedical research hub.
