Dual campus[]

Novena[]

The main campus of Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is located in Novena, situated next to the institution's partner hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The 20-storey Clinical Sciences Building, which commenced construction in January 2015, was opened on 2 March 2017 and facilitates both classroom as well as clinical teaching of medicine. The Clinical Sciences Building also houses various research labs, and students are welcome to apply for attachments with them.[2][3]

Yunnan Garden[]

The faculty's first building, the Experimental Medicine Building, opened in August 2015 and houses classrooms as well as several research labs. Situated within the main Nanyang Technological University campus grounds, it allows students to interact with other faculties more frequently, before they move on to the clinical years of medical school.[citation needed]
