KEEPING FACILITIES UP TO PAR

Essential to our efforts at strengthening our capabilities is keeping our teaching facilities on track with developments in industry.

The culinary theatre is where chefs demonstrate the finer points of culinary skills to students.

The establishment of the Temasek Culinary Academy on our campus marked an exciting milestone in the development of TP’s well-regarded culinary teaching. The Academy is a $5.5 million complex that houses culinary training facilities such as a café, a full-service restaurant, a wine tasting studio, a culinary theatre and a state-of- the-art training kitchen.

As part of TP’s strategy to be at the forefront of education and training technology, Temasek Design School, in collaboration with Apple Computer South Asia Pte Ltd and Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, set up a fully-equipped high definition (HD) post production facility. The facility will enable our graduates to support the media industry that is making the swift transition to HD technology.

Another facility launched this year is The Brand Hub, which caters to the needs of Marketing students. It supports their learning by providing the perfect setting for students to meet real-life clients, and develop strategies that help to build and maintain their clients’ brand image. Some of the clients they have worked with include IKEA, BreadTalk, Samsung, Ogawa, Mediacorp Publishing, HDB, Unilever, and Colgate-Palmolive.

A Training Unit for Mass Production of Tissue Culture Plantlets was set up at Temasek Applied Science School. The facility not only trains students in plant tissue culture techniques, it also exposes them to the workflow of a production setting; from the propagation of plantlets to the packaging and commercialisation of the final products. Thousands of plantlets of various species, such as orchids and heliconia, can be produced per month. These plantlets have in turn been sold to landscaping companies as well as gift shops at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
