the use of multidisciplinary and interactive spaces. Imperial College London President
Professor Alice Gast said: "The ceremony celebrates the creation of modern facilities for our joint medical school in Singapore. It also signals the ambition of our far-sighted collaboration. Together NTU and Imperial College London are laying foundations for research discoveries and for the innovative integration of education and research in LKCMedicine. "Both buildings harness new
technologies and foster collaborative working between disciplines, which will be the hallmark of future advances in health. LKCMedicine doctors-to-be will be surrounded by this exciting research enterprise as they begin acquiring the
skills and knowledge they need to care for patients today and into the future.” Designed by DP Architects, the
architects behind many of Singapore's iconic landmarks including the Marina Centre, Singapore University of Technology and Design, and the Singapore Flyer, the seven-storey Experimental Medicine Building will be completed by July 2015. The 20-storey Clinical Sciences Building will open its doors in 2016 and will be part of Singapore's largest healthcare complex, Health City Novena, which, when completed in 2030, will be physically linked to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and will include facilities offering intermediate and long-term care. The Experimental Medicine Building will be part of NTU's Life Sciences cluster
– comprising LKCMedicine, its School of Biological Sciences, its School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering and its Research Techno Plaza. NTU President Professor Bertil
Andersson said: "With the two new buildings completing the University's new Life Sciences cluster, we will bring together pioneering experts from different schools at NTU." "Coupled with our strong links
with Imperial College London, we are creating a multidisciplinary hotbed for innovative new ideas and approaches to solve tomorrow's healthcare issues," Prof. Andersson said. "At the same time, the medical school will nurture a generation of caring doctors well-versed in using the latest technology to help their patients lead longer and healthier lives." UB
