Future-oriented Education for Growing Leaders
Raffles Girls' Secondary School
321 Braddell Road

The new Raffles Girls Secondary School (RGSS) campus is envisioned as a green campus with student-focused facilities and versatile learning spaces. Guided by the vision of being an institution that nurtures ‘Creators of a Better Age’, the design encompasses the ideas of community-centredness; women as leader; talent development and ‘glocalisation’.

The design is guided by three key aspects: time, movement and space. In line with the concept of time, the campus design is future-ready to fit the activities and new innovations of technologies. Circulation-wise, the campus is envisioned to be a constantly activity-generating place by the students, teachers, visitors and the community, via the creation of three independent yet inter-connected rings. Spatially, each ring is dedicated to a different part of the school community, with the Inner Ring dedicated to students, the Central Ring housing the teaching faculty and the Outer Ring containing dedicated educational amenities (such as the library, performance art centre and multi-purpose hall) as well as the linear park along the canal.

The objective of the spatial design is to encourage the provision of various scales of space to accommodate the different facilities and activities. Strategically designed for both self and group learning within the campus, DPA designed RGSS to meaningfully encourage learning and development at any time and place.
