Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has earned itself a reputation as one of the leading science, technology and research universities in the world. The university's main 200-hectare Yunnan Garden campus, situated on the southwestern outskirts of Singapore, houses Singapore's largest on-campus residence infrastructure including 16 halls of residence for undergraduates and a graduate hall. NTU was the Olympic Village for the first-ever Youth Olympic Games in 2010. Its mission is to nurture creative and entrepreneurial leaders through a broad education in diverse disciplines. The 215,000-square-foot School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) is the island nation's first professional art school, and the refurbished ADM Gallery is a unique, high-tech creative space in Singapore. Fitted with museum track lighting and climate-controls to safely present sensitive and valuable works of arts, the Gallery meets today’s high international museum standards and hosts exciting contemporary art exhibitions by artists from Singapore, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Varying from 2-5 stories, the key feature of the building design is the green roof that slopes almost at a 45-degree angle. Formed by two sloping, tapering arcs that interlock with a third, smaller arc, the roof of the School of Art, Design, and Media was cast in heavily ribbed, reinforced concrete. The sunken, almond shaped courtyard is formed by the space in between the building’s two main arms and is beautifully reflected from the interior high performance, double glazed glass curtain wall facades. Accentuated by fountains and a "floating" performance platform, a reflecting pond adds to the communal ambiance while helping to cool the center space. "Completed in July 2006 at a cost of $38 million, it was officially opened in April 2009. Today, it is regarded as an icon of sophisticated design and architecture, and has been featured in various international design publications. "The four-storey building, with its eye-catching sloped 'grass roofs', was designed to blend in with NTU’s garden campus setting. Beyond being an aesthetic feature that doubles as a scenic outdoor communal space, the green roofs keep the ambient temperature low and reduce heat in the daytime. In addition, the reflective pond in the central courtyard provides a cool visual respite for those gazing out of the classrooms, laboratories and offices that overlook it. "The eco-friendly building houses some of the most advanced media facilities, including a variety of digital laboratories and photography, film, animation and media studios. The School also boasts a comprehensive fine arts library, two art galleries and an auditorium that can seat up to 445 people," (NTU Press Release, 2011).
