The Stephen Riady Centre is the penultimate parcel to be completed in NUS’ landmark University Town project. Occupying the former Warren golf club, fronted by Clementi Road and Dover Road, University Town is intended to be the next generation of tertiary education in Singapore, taking reference from the residential colleges of the US and the UK. The Stephen Riady Centre is located on an angled site on the south west corner of the campus and with frontages along the internal vehicular ring road and the central pedestrianized turfed area – the town green – the parcel presented an exciting challenge to the designers. The brief presented by the client called for a landmark building which would house the most diverse group of users on the campus, with sports, education, dance and administration departments being housed together. The building also had to be tied into the extensive site-wide pedestrian circulation system with a centralised covered ‘forum’ space in the middle of the site.
