SINGAPORE - With a sizeable student population of 12,000, and another 37,000 participating in its professional and continuing education courses, Singapore Management University plays host to thousands

daily at its 4.5ha campus in the heart of Singapore's civic district.

"For a university that started off as a business university, having the banking and business community on its doorstep was priceless. Over the years, we have leveraged our location and the various communities there, including the business, legal and cultural institutions and groups." Professor Kong said:"In constructing the SMU Connexion, the university chose to retain the brick pillars and the cast-iron fence of the former National Library building. They are a part of Singapore's history and the collective memory of generations of Singaporeans, for whom the National Library building was a cherished part of their lives."

Q: SMU has a rather porous campus, with hundreds, if not thousands of people passing through or using the campus facilities every day. Is that intentional?Yes, pre-Covid-19 there was a constant stream of people using our concourse and campus green, which has a running track that is open to the public.

As I said earlier, in the initial years, it was a boost for our business school faculty and students, who could tap the firms nearby for case studies, work attachments and student projects.
