LeapThought is delighted to work with Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of Design & Environment, an institution that has placed a strong focus on nurturing talent for the built environment, to deliver training that helps students acquire the relevant digital skill sets for the built industry.
Smart facilities management has implications that go far beyond automation and energy saving. It extends the life of assets and enhances the security and safety of all resources. Our timely partnership with Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s (NP) School of Design & Environment offers HLFM students direct access to the latest industry technologies for valuable hands-on experiences. Together, we will equip students with the skill sets to grow and transform the industry, creating smart cities for a sustainable future.

In a collaboration with one of Singapore’s leading furniture store, Scanteak, and Choa Chu Kang Town Council, DES students put their design and entrepreneurship skills to good use when they upcycled nearly 1,000 kg of discarded furniture from Choa Chu Kang residents into 35 pieces of commercial furniture. The curated collection of designs was displayed for sale at Scanteak’s showroom and the Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre in March 2022 and attracted rave reviews.
A strong demonstration of DE’s commitment to design for good, proceeds from the sales went to the town council’s Community Development Welfare Fund to fund green initiatives and the needs of underserved communities. The project was also showcased by Mediacorp as part of its CNA Green Plan campaign.
