Collaboration <intransitive
verb>: to work jointly with others or together
especially in an intellectual endeavor (Merriam-Webster
Online Dictionary).
Since the last issue, we have completed numerous projects
in collaboration with other NUS departments or external
institutions, for instance, APPA-NUS Knowledge-sharing seminar
cum MOU signing ceremony.
A MOU was signed between the Association of Higher Education
Facilities Officers (APPA) and OED to launch a Singapore
Chapter, followed by a knowledge-sharing seminar on "Best
Practices in Facilities Management"
on 25 August 2006. NUS and APPA will work jointly to improve
the quality of facilities management and planning in Singapore
as well as the Asian-Pacific Rim areas.
In recent collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs
(OSA), OED supported the department in the preparations
of the official opening on 28 August 2006. Let us share
with you the pictures taken at the event.
Recently, we visited Nanyang Technological University to
share our experiences and best practices that will benefit
both institutions. Through the visit, OED has gained not
only vast knowledge but also a friend.
A group of OED staff brought the beneficiaries from the
Rotary Family Service Centre for an outing as part of our
Community Service Project. The event was a huge success.
OED strives to plan for more programmes to lift the volunteerism
spirit out from our colleagues.
What can the Office of Estate and Development do to further
enhance the campus environment to make it more conducive
for a thinking, entrepreneurial and intellectual community?
A team set out on a mission to learn from some leading universities
in U.S. We share the learning journey with you.
We have recently conducted a roadshow at LT9, Faculty of
Arts and Social Sciences to inform the community of the
coming upgrading works for the Deck. Though the renovations
will commence from 18 November 2006, we share with you the
information on the coming renovations.
Last but most importantly, NUS High School, designed by
CPG Consultants Pte Ltd, has won a Honour award from the
famous US-based DesignShare awards Programme for its innovative
design. In addition, the school was also featured by the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
in one of its publications.
