The Learning Hub, also known as The Hive, opened in 2015.
It is a multi-use educational facility built as part of the Nanyang Technological University's campus redevelopment programme for use by 33,000 students.
The building is designed to better suit contemporary methods of learning in response to the use of the internet as a primary educational tool.
The design challenges the traditional format of university buildings which have box-like lecture rooms linked by long corridors.
Instead, learning facilities and social spaces are interwoven to encourage interaction between users across different disciplines.
The building consists of 56 rounded tutorial rooms stacked in 12 towers arranged around a full-height, naturally ventilated atrium The tutorial rooms are conceived to break down student-teacher hierarchies and promote interactive group teaching.
The spaces are flexible and can be re-configured, encouraging collaboration between students.

Concrete was used as the primary construction material to keep costs down and ensure a high level of environmental performance was achieved.
Heatherwick Studio created a bespoke method to imprint three-dimensional texture into the façade, interior panels and columns using reusable silicone moulds.
700 commissioned drawings by artist and illustrator Sara Fanelli were cast into the elevator cores and stairs.
The drawings reference art, literature and science and are meant to act as ambiguous thought triggers for students and teachers.
The various raw treatments of concrete used give the building an almost hand-made quality.
In 2014, the Learning Hub achieved BREEAM Green Mark Platinum status, the highest environmental rating in Singapore.
It also won the British Precast 'Creativity in Concrete' Award from the Concrete Society in 2015.
