A vibrant learning hub amid lush greenery

With a prime location at the heart of University Town (UTown®), there is a constant buzz at the Education Resource Centre (ERC).

Open to the NUS community, ERC attracts students with its array of IT and multimedia facilities, plentiful study clusters and group discussion spaces where students can brainstorm for group projects or work individually on course assignments.

Designed to foster collaborative learning, the technology-infused seminar rooms in UTown also encourage professors to introduce new teaching methods, which could eventually be replicated to the wider NUS community. Such strategic planning demonstrates the University’s commitment to enhance the overall educational experience for all NUS students.

Located on level 1 of Education Resource Centre (ERC), the two Computer Commons offer a mix of open and semi-enclosed spaces as well as private meeting rooms for students who wish to have project meetings. Students and staff who need to prepare for their presentation(s) and/or conduct video conferencing can do so with the aid of high-end Windows and Macintosh-based computers at the Commons.

Make a beeline for one of the Computer Commons now!

With ample power sockets, wireless connectivity, mobile whiteboards along the corridors and quick-access computers, the Education Resource Centre (ERC) is the latest student hangout.

Besides the Computer Commons meant for collaborative learning, students can venture to the outdoor study areas for project meetings or The Study at level 2 and the Ian and Peony Ferguson Study at level 3 for self-study.

Overlooking Town Green, the spacious learning cafe located at the lower ground of Education Resource Centre (ERC) is a great place to hang out. With wireless access, numerous power sockets as well as refreshments from Starbucks, the place promotes social interaction and intellectual discourses in a relaxed setting.

To liven up the place, the official campus radio station — Radio Pulze — will also broadcast live from a glass studio adjacent to the learning cafe. Look forward to more vibrancy at the ever lively ERC!

The Multimedia Hub provides a myriad of resources like audio-video editing workstations at the Visualisation Suite for students who wish to develop their own multimedia audio and video projects in a professional setting.

These advanced IT equipment encourage creativity in learning, enabling students to hone their presentation skills.

Moviegoers rejoice! Used for lectures in the day, the 200-seater Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium can also double up as a theatre for video screenings when night falls.

Equipped with mobile furniture for easy reconfiguration, the technology-infused seminar rooms at the Education Resource Centre (ERC) and Town Plaza are designed to promote more interactive learning. These facilities enable the lecturer to be more of a facilitator to the class, encouraging students to adopt a more proactive approach in synthesising data and information.

The Active Learning Room promotes exchange and collaboration within as well as amongst groups of students with the enhanced audio/visual equipment.

Teaching and learning beyond the classroom are thus encouraged.
