Buzud, a Singapore brand of medical and beauty devices is pleased to open the doors of their retail showroom located at Raffles Hospital.

The patented Buzud Oxygen Concentrator which is HSA-approved, has an oxygen purity level of 93% to 96% when the flow rate is between 0.5 to 5L per minute. The device is suitable for use at home and is especially beneficial for COVID-19 home recovery, for use by the elderly, and for individuals suffering from asthma. Having an oxygen concentrator for use at home can serve different needs. For example:

1. For people who are suffering from COVID-19, their lung function is severely damaged, and will need oxygen supply equipment.

2. For people who are recently discharged from the hospital, they will need oxygen supply equipment to aid in their recovery.

3. For the elderly at home, their heart and lung function tends to become weaker as they age and can't supply enough oxygen, leading to them being in a bad mental state, so they need supplemental oxygen.

4. For the elderly at home, for those who have the "3-highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol), there is a high chance of them getting a stroke. If they get a stroke, having an oxygen supply equipment nearby will greatly reduce the chances of paralysis.

5. For anyone in general, having enough oxygen will help protect your skin from accelerated aging and promote their metabolism, and will help with their skincare and bodycare.

6. For people suffering from obesity, they will have problems with their respiratory system, and will need a ventilator to help them breathe better in their sleep. When they wake up in the mornings or before going to bed, they will usually need supplemental oxygen.

Other Buzud medical and beauty devices featured in the showroom include oximeters, special ventilators, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters and beauty devices.

Known as being one of the best destinations in Singapore for fine-dining, Riviera has now diversified its offerings for diners by housing two unique concepts at its stunning location overlooking Singapore’s iconic Merlion and Marina Bay waterfront: The Lounge at Riviera and Riviera The Restaurant.

In addition to the Mediterranean fine-dining magic that Riviera has been so well-known for, Riviera has now carved out a stylish and relaxed lounge area, The Lounge at Riviera, which serves up casual Mediterranean fare ideal for sharing, as well as beautiful competitively-priced Business Lunch Sets.

The innovative new menu for The Lounge at Riviera is conceptualized by the star-studded pairing of Executive Chef Rémy Carmignani and Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Vergnole, who boast a combined 30-plus years of experience working in some of the most acclaimed Michelin- starred restaurants in the world, including Guy Savoy, La Dame de Pic and Odette, just to name a few. The menu takes diners on a gastronomic tour across the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean peninsula, from Italy, Southern France, Greece and Spain, all the way to exotic Morocco.

Chéf Rémy’s Franco-Italian heritage combined with his experience working in ethnically diverse cities of Paris, Doha, Singapore and lastly Marrakech, Morocco, where he worked at the award- winning five-star palace-hotel, La Mamounia, lends to the diverse flavours of the Main Courses for Sharing.

Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas lends his experience in working in world-class kitchens in Paris, London and Singapore to the table with his Sweets, showcasing his unparalleled talent for pairing unique flavours with playful, colourful presentation.

With the evolution of Riviera to now include both The Lounge at Riviera and Riviera The Restaurant, guests are now able to take a gourmand’s tour of the diverse region of the Mediterranean in all-new ways, based on their own preference, to suit any occasion – whether it be a productive business lunch, relaxed get-together with family and friends, or a birthday and anniversary. Every meal is executed with fine-dining prowess, immaculate service, Riviera’s signature warm hospitality, and floor-to-ceiling, stunning wrap-around views spanning from Singapore’s historical Fullerton district to the iconic Marina Bay.

Introducing Xi Man, a brand-new unagi speciality restaurant located in the heart of Singapore’s shopping and commercial hub. Heading Xi Man is Chef Ryosuke Deguchi,who before coming over to Singapore was personally trained by a chef of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Kyoto—the latter is also the restaurant’s Principal Partner.

Chef Deguchi has been in the trade for over a decade. He began working at Fujiya Hotel, Hakone, in 2009 when he was just 18 years old. In 2014, Chef Deguchi joined Kyokaiseki Kichisen, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Kyoto, before moving to Kyoto Hotel in 2017. The restaurant uses fresh eels that are imported from Miyazaki, Japan. Compared with other variations that are used by other restaurants in Singapore, the eels from this region are firmer in texture and have a lesser chance of turning mushy during the cooking process.

To cook the eel, Chef Deguchi uses the kansai method instead of the usual kanto method, which requires a steaming step. The kansai method calls for first grilling the unagi on its own before brushing on the tare and grilling it again to a crispy finish. The method also ensures that the eel has a firmer bite, whereas the kanto method results in the eel taking on a mushier texture and oilier finish.

Accompanying the unagi is a bowl of fluffy rice, which is procured from Niigata prefecture - the prefecture best known for its superior quality rice and Sakes. Diners will also be served three sauces along with their unagi bowl: Original Tare, Sweet Tare and Spicy Tare. All the tare uses the time-honoured Marunaka Shoyu as the base. The history of the handcrafted and all-natural Japanese soy sauce spans two centuries. The meticulous production of each batch of soy sauce takes three years.

Above picture: Maria and Dino Rinaldi, Swiss/Cypriot/South African and Swiss/Italian; Michele (15)

“Our son Michele has been attending mathematics and English classes with Boutique Education since October 2018. I (Maria) got to know about them through Seasoned Singapore Expat Women (SSEW) on Facebook. They came highly recommended, and as I was looking for tutors, I called them to find out more. Their professionalism, understanding of our needs (not a one-size-fits-all approach) and willingness to support the overall development of our son was what made us decide to sign up with them.

“We've had an excellent experience thus far. Their tutoring approach is developed according to the needs of the child, and the tutors work with school teachers and provide the support required to develop skills further. Sessions are structured according to what Michele needs or requires for that particular week or school assignment. Our son has two amazing tutors, Adam and Sandy, with who he enjoys working with. They have expertise and energy, and they make learning fun. They're great at engaging Michele and helping him see goals by enabling him with the skills required to achieve them. They've taken time to get to know him and support him with his overall schooling experience. He has developed a connection with both of them, and they've been great for his confidence.

“We’d definitely recommend Boutique Education to others. The tutors are open and provide the support required. They have an amazing team, from administration to teaching and overall support of children’s needs.”

Drunken Farmer, one of Singapore's leading authority on all things natural wines by lifestyle collective Spa Esprit Group, is brewing up its signature brand of unadulterated funk to natural wine lovers and families living in the east with the launch of a second sourdough-focused bistro and natural wine bar concept in the colourful Joo Chiat neighbourhood on the East Coast.

Riding on the success of turning Common Man Stan—the CBD outpost of Common Man Coffee Roasters—into a 'two-faced concept' earlier this year, the recently opened Joo Chiat joint of the specialty coffee roaster and cafe is set to undergo the same day-to-night transformation from cafe by day to natural wine bar and bistro by night, adding more colour to the family- friendly estate's vibrant dining scene with a wholesome and gut-friendly package of sharing plates and quaffable natural wines.

From what started as a traveling pop-up bar and consultancy dedicated to natural wines—the brainchild of Cynthia Chua, Founder & Chairman of Spa Esprit Group intended to foster appreciation of the good funk and temper taste buds among the local dining scene—to its online shop that brings the convenience of same-day delivery to its top notch curation of over 100 bottles from some of the best 'farmers' in the business, the movement has since grown by leaps and bounds to welcome a larger community of enthusiasts and curious drinkers today.

Following the brick-and-mortar debut of Drunken Farmer at Stanley Street earlier in April, its proposition of celebrating all things good by way of pairing minimally intervention wines with dishes inspired by naturally leavened sourdough has been a resounding success - thus spurring the group's motivation to grow the brand by making it more accessible across key locales and neighbourhoods in Singapore.

"Both Common Man Coffee Roasters and Drunken Farmer are proudly championing the third-wave coffee and natural wine movements locally, and have been responsible for turning fads into permanent fixtures in the local dining scene that really resonate with the way we eat and drink today. The synergy both brands share in this 'two-faced concept' is impalpable and we see Joo Chiat as a natural stepping stone in our new roadmap as we grow both brands," affirms Chua.

Creating transformational products and experiences to elevate the world by unleashing the full potential in everyone. Vancouver-based Lululemon launched in 1998 as a yoga-inspired activewear brand. Its founder, Chip Wilson, discovered yoga, as well as the large, untapped market for garments tailored to the low-intensity practice of yoga. The brand’s high-quality yoga pants became a cult item. Many women found them so comfortable that they wore the pants out of the yoga studio and into everyday life, which helped give birth to what has been known as athleisure, which involves garments that are worn for both athletic endeavors as well as casual leisure activities.

Timber Actually has a new store at The Grandstand which supplies wood – mostly from Singapore trees - to residents and wood enthusiasts in Singapore. Yes, you read that right!

Their customers are hobbyists, DIY-ers, wood workers, wood enthusiasts, homeowners, restaurants, cafes and many more. What all of them have in common is that they want to be part of the whole ecosystem: processing and using as much as they possibly can from local trees.

You will have noticed that there are loads of trees here in Singapore. What you probably do not realize is that along Singapore's roads are many trees (including African Mahogany) that are sourced to make premium furniture-grade wood. Local trees are often felled to make way for urban development as well as to keep us safe where they pose a risk to the community. Timber Actually is licenced to gather these fallen logs and bring them to their yard for processing.

Logs are first cut into regular plank sizes and then dried out within Timber Actually's in-house kiln in order to reduce the moisture content of the wood. Kiln drying is a standard practice in wood production mills and serves to efficiently bring the green lumber moisture levels down to "workable" levels. Excess moisture in the wood can cause major issues including warping and twisting.

Once the wood is dried, Timber Actually it can be customized into bespoke pieces for carpenters, DIY-ers, home-based woodworkers and homeowners.

The logs are put through several processes before they are ready to be transformed. The logs will be cut to regular plank sizes. After which, they will be subjected to drying inside Timber Actually's in-house kiln. This is to reduce the moisture content of the wood. Kiln drying is a standard practice in wood production mills and serves to efficiently bring the green lumber moisture levels down to "workable" moisture content levels that will not end in the myriad of problems that can be caused by excess moisture in the wood. These problems include warping and twisting.

With the wood now dried, they are ready for you. Whether you are a carpenter, DIY-er, home-based woodworker, or homeowner, Timber Actually is around to assist.

After five years of calling its cosy corner “meating spot” on Amoy Street home, Singapore’s foremost Argentinian steakhouse boCHINche by local lifestyle collective Spa Esprit Group has moved out of one Chinatown dining enclave to claim its stake in another - this time along the popular Club Street stretch. The new location boasts a larger dining hall decked out with a fresh look inspired by tribal design, an open kitchen and grill that flanks the entire length of the restaurant, and a refreshed menu designed by head chef Fabrice Mergalet to bring the age- old steakhouse experience to the modern age.

With a bigger location comes bolder ambitions as boCHINche continues to elevate the steakhouse experience in its new home. Ingredients, from trusted staples to regional specialties, are sourced seasonally from around the world to ensure the best products all year long. Modern cooking techniques such as sous vide, lacto fermentation, and infusions allow the kitchen to develop new dishes with unexpected ingredient and flavour combinations that draw inspiration from culinary traditions beyond Latin America, and across the world. Beyond its prized steaks, lighter, brighter flavours and more varied protein options have been introduced to widen its appeal. One thing remains unchanged since day one - steaks are cooked using traditional grilling techniques over charcoal fire to achieve a lightly charred crust and smoky aroma that best highlights the natural flavours of the beef.

Easily spot the restaurant on 27 Club Street with its textured facade cladded in panels of rustic recycled wood pieces. Step into the space and immediately notice the difference as tribal design-inspired interiors exude an undeniable masculine elegance, contrasted with quirky, fun elements throughout. A nod to soviet modernism design, clean, elegant lines of wood panelling, marble surfaces, and brass fittings are further accentuated with warm lighting in the 66-seater restaurant designed by the group’s creative director Jerry Sparks.

“boCHINche has been like that trusted old friend that never lets you down through the years. We’ve grown beyond just being that Argentinian restaurant or a traditional steakhouse - and have truly carved out a unique identity in Singapore’s dining scene that I believe will stand the test of time, and flourish even into even bigger and bolder possibilities from this point on,” shares Cynthia Chua, founder and Chairman of Spa Esprit Group.

Pre-meal nibbles come in inspired morsels packed full of flavours. Crispy Argentinian Spring Rolls (S$14) are filled with tender, richly flavoured chopped pig ears, cut with an aromatic mix of jalapeño, piquillo, scallion, and coriander. A trio of hand-cut beef, chicken and sweet corn Empanadas (S$5 each) continue to be boCHINche’s signature crowd-pleasers, with the addition of a new flavour that elevates the quintessential ham and cheese pairing with rich provolone cheese, smoked ham, sweet confit onions and pimento.

While meats are the main event at boCHINche, a new selection of standout starters offer bright respite for those seeking a lighter touch for their meals. A plump, milky ball of artisanal Italian Burrata (S$29) is paired with a medley of fermented tomatoes that cut through each creamy spoonful with refreshing fizzy pops on the palate, dotted with avocado mousse and edible orange cosmos. Quail (S$28) offers more than just a beautifully charcoal grilled bird with earthy flavours of salt-crusted roasted beetroot, crunchy roasted hazelnuts and tangy berries brought together with a rich buttermilk sauce. A classic Spanish risotto-style Bomba Arroz Verde (S$27) is topped with grilled Argentinian prawns, while raw scallop bites are folded throughout the rice and glazed with a stock made using seafood trimmings, resulting in a satisfying, creamy consistency while still remaining blissfully dairy-free.

From the famous wood and charcoal grill, a combination of cherry, apple and jarrah wood lends an irresistible flavour to a proud selection of carefully selected, grass-fed beef imported directly from Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Japan. While Argentinian beef remains the heart and soul of boCHINche, a renewed emphasis has been placed on the brand being an authority on high quality cuts of beef from around the world. A dry-aging fridge allows beef to be dry- aged in-house—typically for 35 to 38 days—using traditional methods, with an added coating of beef tallow that helps enhance the aging process while introducing new dimensions of flavours.

A thoughtful, 50-odd-strong-label wine list completes the steakhouse experience, with 10 labels available by glass and carafe. Designed around the philosophy of pairing wines and cuisine of the same origin, the list features 30 Argentinian labels—mainly from the key region of Mendoza—ranging from the quaffable to the bold and robust. The list is split between a selection of natural wines sourced from Drunken Farmer, while the rest remain conventional for their big, robust flavours that are best enjoyed with aged meats cooked over charcoal fire.

After introducing authentic Vietnamese flavours with its pho and authentic street food dishes, Mrs Pho delves deeper into Vietnamese cuisine with a new concept – Mrs Pho House – that serves up traditional charcoal hotpot and Vietnamese festive delicacies in an interior that is reflection of a Vietnamese home. The best of Vietnamese hospitality is presented over communal family-sharing style dishes and hotpot where the freshest meats, seafoods and vegetables are cooked over charcoal fire.

Mrs Pho House brings to the table broths, ingredients and side dishes prepared to true Vietnamese heirloom recipes by a third-generation female Chef Linh from Vietnam.

With influences from Chinese and French cuisine, Vietnamese food differs with crisper flavours but with just as diverse layers. Extending on what Mrs Pho Kitchen has to offer, Mrs Pho House intends to bring the full depth of Vietnamese cuisine to diners from appetisers and mains to dessert.

“All the dishes I’ve created are drawn from my memories of my childhood,” shares Chef Linh. “The Lemongrass Chicken is made from the same recipe as my mother used and the Butter Quail always makes me laugh when I think of all the quails I have stolen from my mother as she was preparing them. I also have creations of my own that I would like to share, like the Bun Cha that I ate a lot of in my younger trainee days and has perfected over the years.”

Trained in France at Michelin restaurants, Le Grand Vefour and Le Pre Catelan, Chef Linh is proud to be returning to her roots and serving up traditional Vietnamese dishes from her childhood, including a signature Crab Bisque Soup as sold by her own mother’s famed crab noodle soup street stall in Saigon.

Chef Linh comes from a long lineage of chefs, each having spent time in the mecca of cuisine – France. Her grandmother was trained in Ferrandi in 1920 and was among the first to incorporate French techniques in Vietnamese cooking. Fate didn’t smile on her time in France, which she had to cut short and return to Vietnam, but she successfully inspired her granddaughter to also pursue her culinary craft in Ferrandi.

Making it to France was not an easy journey, especially monetarily. To save enough money, Chef Linh worked for six years in Singapore, tiding herself over with foods she knows best – Vietnamese cuisine.

After over 2 years in France, Chef Linh returned to Singapore, a natural decision motivated by her love for the country. Her hopes of bringing authentic Vietnamese dishes are materialised with Mrs Pho House, a hotpot and Vietnamese specialty concept restaurant that replicates the dining ambience of a Vietnamese home. On the menu, she has put a medley of festive dishes usually only enjoyed during special occasions in Vietnam.

When summer descends on Italy, the outdoors burst with activity and the word on everyone’s lips is “grigliata”.

Grigliata is the outdoor grill cook-out dreamed of in foodie heaven. A larder of the season’s finest produce sizzling on a bed of burning charcoal. The company of family and friends. Luscious wine and overwhelming hospitality.

The Italians have honed this summer ritual to perfection, and adored and honoured it like religion for generations. Now imagine sitting down to this cornucopia of flavour and life ... and you are at Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen.

Griglia is a brand-new contemporary Italian grill restaurant nestled on the ground floor of a conservation shophouse in charming Craig Road. As its name promises, diners at Griglia will be treated to the tastes, sensations and emotions of the grigliata in a casual setting-- and fall in love with the magic of the Common Flame.

Typically, guests bring along their favourite dishes to a grigliata. Multiple courses are enjoyed over a long afternoon, leisurely savouring appetisers and side dishes while sipping tasty wines, before embarking on the main course; meanwhile the charcoal fire perpetually glows in one of the oldest cooking styles known to man.

The grigliata celebrates fresh seasonal produce, cooking it over hot coals and open flame to accentuate the natural inherent flavours. Grigliata dishes are less intense and more Mediterranean in flavour, consisting of meats, seafood, fish and seasonal vegetables and fruits seasoned with herbs, salt and pepper, lavished with olive oil marinades and judicious squeezes of lemon.

Griglia prepares these same recipes using traditional as well as modern methods, making them even lighter and more refreshing. The menu conceptualised by Andrea De Paola, Chef Partner of Griglia & Group Executive Chef of Food Concepts Group, is based on classic grigliata dishes from different regions of Italy with additional recipes from his family and friends. By offering a wide selection of food, and serving it smaller sharing portions, diners are encouraged to order and taste many dishes in the style of the ‘bring-your-own’ grigliata.

At Griglia almost all the ingredients, and not just meat, fish and seafood, are cooked with the cast iron charcoal grill. This stunning equipment, made-to- measure for the open kitchen, brings out the intrinsic flavours of the fresh seasonal produce. Meanwhile the warm and cosy restaurant is constructed and clad in the raw materials of the grigliata – wood, bricks and metal.

Food and aesthetics work together to honour the element at the crux of the grigliata and the restaurant -- the Common Flame that draws people together in the embrace of Italian hospitality; fostering human bonds over food and fire, and creating moments that beget enduring memories.

The menu is conceptualised by Chef Andrea De Paola, and executed by Head Chef Federico Schiraldi. To showcase the culinary essence of the grigliata, the dishes are based on its classic recipes, with flavours made lighter and more refreshing and presented in a refined contemporary style using handcrafted Mediterranean-style tableware.

Griglia serves antipasti, artisanal salumi, main courses, sides, cheeses and desserts, and carries an extensive range of more than 100 wines from different regions, with up to 85% from Italy. Cocktails focus on different flavours of Negroni, Spritz and Gin & Tonic. Traditional Italian digestives, such as limoncello, amaro and grappa are also served.

The international headquarters for Indigo Precious Metals Group (IPM Group) and Auctus Metal Portfolios has moved to a new location on Amoy Street, to introduce a new bullion retail store catering to the growing demand of savvy investors.

With record numbers of first-time bullion buyers, family offices, hedge funds and HNWIs increasing their diversification into this asset class, IPM Group and Auctus Metal Portfolios are positioned to assist individuals, corporate and institutional investors to embrace the critical significance of maintaining a diversified investment portfolio, including an exposure to physical precious metals.

Established in 2014, Indigo Precious Metals Group is a trusted precious metals investment specialist, founded and run by leading metals expert, former investment banker and acclaimed financial analyst David J Mitchell, serving a wide international client base from offices in Singapore, Malaysia and the UK.

Founding Partner, David Mitchell shared, "Every asset class has its day in the sun. The global macroeconomic landscape is pointing towards a substantial revaluation of precious metals, driven by a myriad of dynamic factors.

“Exposure to traditional asset classes at this time, including stocks and property is becoming increasingly risky, as a growing acceptance of their extreme overvaluation becomes widespread. Current valuations are simply unsustainable in the longer term. There is a clear and ongoing shift occurring, with increasing global wealth capital flows moving into more defensive and undervalued asset classes. Investors are now demanding the inclusion of physical precious metals within their diversified portfolios.

“We are in the early days of a clearly-defined super-cycle in commodities. Precious metals represent the pointy end of the spear in terms of leading the way forwards in commodity asset appreciation. Expanding our headcount and securing a sizable ground floor retail space in the heart of Singapore's CBD will ensure that we are well equipped to meet this growing demand,” he added.

The new IPM Group retail bullion store features safe, discreet, and easy access to several dynamic bullion showcases and displays as well as well-appointed, private meeting rooms for prospective clients who seek bullion investment advice from their team of bullion experts and advisors. Monitors featuring live spot metal prices adorn the walls and provide investors with real time bullion market information including performance charts, forecasts, and research reports.

As a leading bullion dealer in Singapore since 2014, IPM Group has developed a loyal client base in trading precious metals and a reputation for consistently offering highly competitive premiums across the market. IPM Group offers an extensive selection of internationally recognised brands of investment grade bullion including Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium. Also on offer are rare earths and collectibles in a variety of denominations, weights, and product types.

Orchid Haven, a new 280 sqm space within Gardens by the Bay’s Cloud Forest cooled conservatory is now completed and ready to receive visitors. It is a dedicated space to host Cloud Forest’s changing orchid displays as well as permanent orchid exhibits, with more than 1,000 orchids on show at any one time. This is the first time since 2017 that a major area has been revamped in Cloud Forest.

With the growing popularity of Cloud Forest’s changing orchid displays, which have been bringing to Singapore a plethora of beautiful and sometimes rare orchids from Central and South America to East Asia for the past four years, horticulturists recognised the need to carve out more space to showcase orchids. The new Orchid Haven is about three times the size of the original space for changing orchid displays.

After all, Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants, and orchids have a long history in Singapore. Gardens by the Bay also has an extensive and diverse collection of orchids, as well as its own orchid hybridisation programme.

Flight of the Moth Orchid, the first changing orchid display in the new Orchid Haven, is a tribute to the Phalaenopsis orchid, a diverse genus whose floral form resembles that of a moth in flight. In this display, more than 800 Phalaenopsis orchids of 17 taxa are showcased in a breathtaking “waterfall” of cascading blooms.

The Phalaenopsis is a popular orchid among both orchid enthusiasts, as well as breeders whose focus is on producing ever more innovative hybrids. In fact, the orchids in Flight of the Moth Orchid have been arranged to show how the morphology of the Phalaenopsis has evolved through the years, from its original look to the distinct and dramatic characteristics that breeders have coaxed out of hybrids. Phalaenopsis hybrids are known for bright colours, peculiar patterns and markings, as well as floral mutations that result in even more stunning varieties.

SIT Punggol Campus is set to transform Punggol North into a vibrant economic and learning hub.

As an integral part of Punggol Digital District, they are supporting the development of the digital economy. Their students will be trained to work on real-world business problems, in active integration with the industry, thereby increasing their job readiness.

They are redefining the university experience. Specially designed to integrate with industry and community in the north-east region of Singapore, their new campus will strengthen their ability to deliver an industry-focused, applied learning education for our students.

Powered by Internet of Things, the campus-wide sensor network system is automated, and their electricity is generated using a multi-energy MicroGrid system. Industry partners can leverage SIT as a ‘living lab’, using their open innovation ecosystem to pilot and test their prototypes in a real-life environment.

Accessible to the community, the campus is connected to the future Punggol Coast MRT station, so residents can head to the Market Village for retail and dining options by the waterfront. Nature lovers will enjoy the Heritage Walk, a 1.3km green link that conserves the forest along the old Punggol Road.

The new campus is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by 2023. It will be a campus that is porous, interconnected and facilitates interaction between learning, industry, and community.
