Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,

The unique intersection of architecture, design, and engineering within our college unlocks powerful opportunities for collaboration, connecting ideas, expertise, and viewpoints to drive real-world impact. This synergy not only flourishes within CDE but also extends to our collaborations with external partners.

In May, we marked several meaningful partnerships.

The partnership between the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed 2.0 and Eaton will advance sustainable solutions for AI-driven digital infrastructure. We also welcomed Seatrium’s strengthened support for research and talent development in the offshore, marine and energy sectors.  Together with a network of collaborators, the Architectural Conservation Laboratory (ArClab) is undertaking a groundbreaking retrofit of its conservation townhouse facility, aiming to transform it into Singapore's first historic building to achieve net-zero operational energy.

These partnerships showcase how the convergence of disciplines at CDE creates a powerful engine for innovation, generating a lasting, positive impact across a multitude of sectors.
