NTU | Singapore | Learning Hub (The Arc) Opening

Employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and micro-climate analysis we modelled how the building could maximise comfort levels by accelerating outside air movement through the permeable building. This ensured 30 percent of The Arcs floor area could be entirely naturally ventilated, creating significant energy cost savings and setting a new benchmark for sustainable education buildings in the tropics.

The Arc is unique because it aligns passive sustainability with an open learning pedagogy model; a solution KIRK pioneered. The open learning platforms are tuned to their setting and place, allowing a multitude of futures including flexible learning patterns, modes and technologies. A truly contemporary higher learning proposition for our progressive client.
