A Destination for All Ages to Explore STEM Experiences

The new Science Centre will be a gateway to Jurong Lake Gardens, and a welcoming place where “Science meets Nature”, with lush landscaping and outdoor science exhibits for the public to enjoy. The new Science Centre will be an integral part of Jurong Lake District, and will be a welcoming place where education is integrated with nature.

The new Centre will offer unique facilities and a wide range of programmes to drive STEM education in Singapore. Set to be a key landmark attraction of the Jurong Lake District, the approximately 55,000 sqm building, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects in collaboration with Architects 61 Pte Ltd, will be developed over a site of about 7.4 hectares, and will be about 25% larger than the current Centre.

The new Science Centre will serve as the heart of the community, integrated with the surrounding landscape, with lush gardens and spaces for all to enjoy. Members of the public will have the opportunity to interact with science exhibits along curated nature trails, and also enjoy and explore the secondary forest through the lens of science. There will be exciting opportunities for the Science Centre to co-develop learning trails and programmes with the National Parks Board (NParks), national water agency PUB, and nature groups.

Construction works have commenced in May, and the new Science Centre is targeted to open around end-2027, the year of its 50th anniversary. The current Science Centre will continue to serve the needs of Singaporeans and tourists until the new Science Centre is ready.
