Duke University Medical School and the National University of Singapore have created a joint venture to develop and operate a U.S.-style graduate medical school on the Sing Health Campus in central Singapore. Designed by Hillier Architecture, the 10-story building contains academic, research and administrative spaces. Fostering collaboration and creating a campus “heart” are key objectives of the central atrium. The atrium ties library and academic spaces at ground level with principal investigators and postdoctorates on the research floors above. In keeping with local climate and tradition, the exterior’s louvres and sunshades condition perimeter spaces while the building massing shades exterior spaces, making them enjoyable year round.
