Faculty of Dentistry (FOD) was previously operating from the NUH Main building up to December 2009. Due to the limited space available in NUH, it stifled the faculty’s growth potential.

In Oct 2008, the FOD building was conceived with plans to provide them the avenue for expansion (especially in Postgraduate Education and Training) and at the same time upgrade their teaching facilities. The relocation of (FOD) to this new facility (at the previous Car Park 9 land parcel in NUS) will also provide some space relief to NUH and allow the hospital to expand their Clinical Research Programmes.

The new (FOD) building comes with a Gross Floor Area of 6,195sqm. The building was designed to accommodate all Faculty and Administrative Staff, Undergraduate and Graduate learning facilities such as Dental Clinics & Laboratories, X-ray Facility, Seminar and Tutorial Rooms.

The building was designed with an open central courtyard at ground floor level (to facilitate Staff & Students interaction) and a drop-off porch. The front facing façades along the main roads are cladded with glass and aluminium composite panels. An open air roof terrace (with trellises to provide some shade) is provided for at Level 4 alongside with two Student Discussion/Seminar Rooms.
