With a new 12-storey building earmarked to sit on the land adjacent to LASALLE’s current McNally campus and Rochor MRT station, students need no longer travel to different locations to attend classes. They can also enjoy new spaces such as a 300-seater lecture theatre and public-facing galleries. This centralising of facilities and expansion of campus was made possible thanks to The Ngee Ann Kongsi’s gift of $50 million dollars to the College. It is the biggest donation from the Teochew foundation to date and the largest received by LASALLE.
