Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Campus, Punggol Digital District 

Home to 12,000 students and 1,200 staff, the campus is embedded in Singapore’s emerging tech ecosystem. It spans two plots and is designed to be open, pedestrian-friendly, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Shared facilities, green corridors, and underground infrastructure prioritize landscape and community space, creating a vibrant, inclusive environment.

Campus-in-a-Park

The landscape masterplan seamlessly integrates the campus into its natural context, preserving a mature secondary forest and transforming Old Punggol Road into a 1.3 km pedestrian green spine.

The 91,000 m² landscape connects indoor and outdoor spaces through elevated bridges, courtyards, and community parks. A 100% Landscape Replacement Area—featuring green roofs, ecological ponds, and sky gardens—enhances biodiversity and supports a climate-sensitive, welcoming environment.

Super Low Energy Campus

SIT’s Punggol exemplifies sustainable campus design, functioning as a living laboratory where nature, technology, and community converge to drive climate-conscious innovation. All buildings are certified to BCA Green Mark Platinum standards, with two designed to Super Low Energy (SLE) benchmarks—achieving over 40% energy savings through passive design and intelligent controls. A district cooling system improves energy efficiency by approximately 30% while helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect. The campus also hosts Southeast Asia’s first multi-energy microgrid, integrating solar photovoltaics, energy storage, and smart load management to enhance grid resilience and renewable energy uptake. More than 20,000 IoT sensors provide real-time monitoring of environmental conditions and resource consumption, while an Integrated Building Management System (IBMS) synchronizes lighting, cooling, and ventilation in response to occupancy and weather. Sustainability is embedded in daily operations, with on-site composting of organic waste for landscape use, campus-wide recycling infrastructure, and procurement policies that promote reduction, reuse, and responsible sourcing.

Seamless, Sustainable Movement

Ramboll’s transport team developed the Mobility Masterplan and led the design and implementation of transport infrastructure in collaboration with project partners.

With SIT consolidating multiple campuses into one central location, mobility planning was critical. The campus spans Campus Heart and Campus Court, and integrates seamlessly with Punggol Town Centre, JTC’s Creative Industry Cluster, and surrounding HDB developments.

Key features include:

• Safe cycleways and ample bike parking
• Connectivity to Bus, LRT, and MRT networks
• Car-lite strategies and shared parking with JTC to reduce land use
• Pedestrian flow modelling to optimize corridor widths and campus connectivity

Future expansion was factored into the masterplan, ensuring SIT’s long-term growth and adaptability.

Civil & Structural Engineering Innovation

Ramboll’s structural solutions support SIT’s architectural ambitions through:

• Long-span link bridges, including a 30m-high bridge over New Punggol Road with a span around 60m.
• Link bridges within SIT campus, spanning over 30m to connect buildings. The popped-out boxes introduce torsional effects that require careful structural design.
• Column-free atriums and long-span slabs (12–18m),  achieved through the use of post-tensioned slabs and beams, enabling flexible and adaptable learning spaces.
• Thinner structural zones to optimize space for MEP systems

These innovations enable open, adaptable environments that support modern pedagogical needs and future-proof the campus.
