Singapore

PRESIDENT Tony Tan laid a foundation stone on Thursday at each of Nanyang Technological University's (NTU) two new buildings for its medical school. The buildings will form the dual campus of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), jointly set up by NTU and Imperial College London.

Located at NTU's main campus is the seven-storey Experimental Medicine Building, which will be completed by July, in time for the next academic year. As part of the university's biomedical-engineering cluster, it will be connected to NTU's School of Biological Sciences via a sky bridge and have almost five storeys dedicated to research, NTU president Bertil Andersson said.
