耗资2.32亿美元的新加坡Nexus国际学校为庆祝项目动工举行了一场奠基仪式。
新学校位于新加坡中部的Aljunied，预计将于2020年竣工。该项目由宝麦蓝以“垂直校园”的概念设计；小学分布在较低的楼层，中学则位于较高楼层。
泰勒国际学校校长BK Gan在奠基仪式上表示：“在Nexus，我们将立足于围绕学生学习的基本教学法，由经验丰富的员工为每个人量身定制个性化的课程，并确保满足其特定的学习层次。而以这种协作互动的方式进行教学则需要我们提供独特的空间。“
学校将招收2000名年龄在3至18岁的学生。所面临的挑战是需要确保教师和学生能够通过中层设立的公共设施中社交空间的部分进行有效互动。共享的社交空间包括一个双层图书馆，语言区，体育馆，咖啡厅和游乐场。所有领域都是灵活的工作空间，可以适应学习所需环境。
Nexus旨在创建互动与灵活的学习空间，可以轻松适应当前课程所需。学习空间围绕弹性且半开放的教室而设计；通过安装了吸音板的可移动定制家具，用以根据实际所需尺寸随意切换空间，从而适用于不同的教学场景。这种既创新又简单的解决方案意味着学习中心和教室可以轻松适应未来的趋势，例如学生的数量变化或者课程的变更。
作为一所苹果卓越学校，数字化技术将成为课程非常重要的组成部分，包括移动智能投影机和互动式触摸屏的使用。
“在Nexus，我们以通过最新技术打造创新型学习环境而感到自豪，我们已经创建了国内最先进的创新中心，也将拥有专注于开发新创意和创新想法的空间。”BK Gan先生补充说道。
校园内设施还将包括一个50米游泳池，一个原尺寸天然草皮的运动场，录音室，图书馆，礼堂，体育馆，健身房以及一系列弹性的学习空间。体育和戏剧设施将在周末和下课后开放给社区居民使用。
新加坡经济发展局总经理助理Kelvin Wong表示：“像Nexus这样的外国体制学校，在增强新加坡成为一个有吸引力的全球城市和企业摇篮发挥着重要作用。通过将社区互动精心整合到校园的设计，Nexus将成为邻里有利的附加值。我们相信，Nexus的学生，教师和员工随着时间的推移，将成为新加坡及当地社区不可或缺的重要成员，并发挥积极作用。”
Broadway Malyan director Harry Hoodless, who has been involved in developing international schools across Asia, said the facility will set new benchmarks for sustainability and innovation.
他解释道：“新加坡已经拥有卓越的教育声誉，而Nexus的愿景就是在新加坡建立一个下一代学习环境的旗舰校园，这也有助于巩固其在创新和技术领域的地位。新校园的设计在应对环境问题方面将是独一无二的，我们相信它能体现我们对教育空间的前瞻性思考，同时也符合当地社区的需要。“

The school will cater for 2,000 students aged between 3 and 18. The challenge is to ensure that teachers and learners can interact effectively; through the creation of communal facilities in the middle floors offers a social space to meet and mix. Shared social spaces include a double-storey library, language areas, sports halls, café and play-deck. All areas are flexible workspaces that can be tailored to learning environments.
Nexus aims to create interactive and versatile learning spaces that can easily be adapted to the lesson at hand. It is designed around flexible classrooms that are left partially open; bespoke furniture with acoustic panelling can be moved to create spaces of the size required at the time, for different teaching scenarios. This innovative, simple solution means that learning hubs and classrooms can be easily adapted to future trends, for example changing student numbers or alterations to the curriculum.
As an Apple Distinguished School, digital technology will be integral to the delivery of the curriculum, including the use of mobile smart projectors and interactive touch screens.
“At Nexus we pride ourselves in creating innovative learning environments with the latest technology, and we have created state-of-the-art Innovation Hub that will house a space dedicated to the development of new creative and innovative ideas,” added BK Gan.
Facilities at the campus will include a 50m pool, a full size astro-turf sports field, recording studios, library, auditorium, sports halls, fitness gym as well as a raft of flexible learning spaces. Sports and drama facilities will be available to the community to use on weekends and after school hours.
Kelvin Wong, Assistant Managing Director at the Singapore Economic Development Board, said: “Foreign System Schools like Nexus play an important role in strengthening Singapore’s position as an attractive global city and home for businesses. By carefully integrating community interaction into its campus design, Nexus will be a valuable addition to the neighbourhood. We believe that Nexus, its students, teachers and staff, will play active roles and over time, become integral members of the local community and Singapore.”
Broadway Malyan director Harry Hoodless, who has been involved in developing international schools across Asia, said the facility will set new benchmarks for sustainability and innovation.
He explained: “Singapore already boasts a reputation for educational excellence and Nexus’s vision is to create a campus that will be Singapore’s flagship learning environment for the next generation and help secure its position as the region’s leader for innovation and technology.
"The new campus design will be unique in terms of its response to environmental context and we believe it exemplifies our forward thinking approach to education space, while also embracing the needs of the local community.”
Nexus is a member of Taylor’s Education Group, which operates universities, colleges and schools across Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore. The new international school will be the flagship school for the Nexus brand, building on Taylor’s successful growth of the school’s cohort and ideology.
