Our Campus
At NYJC, we are committed to creating a campus environment that balances academic excellence, personal growth, and holistic development. Over the years, the college has continuously enhanced its facilities, guided by feedback from students and the evolving needs of education. Here's an overview of our campus journey and our latest updates:
Learning Spaces
The enhancement of learning spaces has always been a priority at NYJC. Since 2013, we have introduced various self-study units across the campus to support group discussions, consultation sessions, and individual study. These spaces provide a conducive and flexible environment for students to collaborate, reflect, and learn at their own pace.
In 2023, we embarked on a multi-phase journey to further elevate our campus, beginning with a significant transformation of the library. This redesign, shaped by student feedback, aims to create a vibrant hub of inquiry, collaboration, and innovation.
The revamped library is now divided into two main sections:
-
Study Hub: Designed for focused study and group discussions, this space will include individual discussion pods for meetings, a cozy corner for rest, and dedicated areas for self-study.
-
Resource Hub: Beyond books and digital resources, this section will offer access to equipment for recording, photo and video editing, content creation software, and even counselling services to support student well-being.
This vision for revitalised learning spaces will extend to other key areas, including the Eblouissant and the Concourse, ensuring the entire campus reflects a modern and student-centric design ethos.
More Than Just a Dining Space
In 2023, the college canteen underwent a major revamp based on student input. The redesign improved seating capacity and enhanced the overall ambience, making it a more inviting and functional space. Recognising the importance of versatility, the new canteen also serves as a venue for study sessions, group discussions, and even performances or community events, fostering a dynamic campus culture.
A Space for Play and More
NYJC is dedicated to fostering an active and vibrant campus life. In 2021, the sheltered basketball courts were completed, offering students a versatile space for sports and community events. This area is not only used for basketball but has also become a central venue for activities during Orientation and the CarNYval.
The college’s other sports facilities include upgraded tennis courts, fitness stations, a floorball-cum-street soccer court, and a well-equipped gym enhanced with new equipment. These amenities support a wide range of recreational and fitness activities, ensuring students have plenty of opportunities to stay active and engaged.
Balancing Work and Play
At NYJC, we recognise that play is an integral part of learning. Beyond the OAL facilities and sports spaces, students can enjoy lighter moments with amenities like the X-box Kinect corner, foosball tables, arcade basketball machines, air hockey in the student lounging area, and even campus swings. Students can also book the BBQ pit for class gatherings, fostering bonds in a relaxed setting.
Ensuring Safety and Security
Safety has always been paramount at NYJC. Over the years, we have introduced a range of measures, including:
-
Installation of 56 digital security cameras and the relocation of guard posts and vehicle barriers in 2013.
-
Implementation of a facial recognition and temperature-taking system in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring efficient attendance tracking and adherence to health protocols.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, NYJC remains committed to ensuring our campus evolves to meet the aspirations of our students. By actively involving them in shaping their learning environment, we continue to create a space that inspires excellence, fosters innovation, and builds a vibrant and supportive community.
