I think we should start with some great historical school beauties.

SJI, CHIJMes, Tao Nan School are some that I can think of

[redstone]

Old Victoria School is still there, unconserved.

[redstone]

My school has a performance theatre, a huge band room and dance studio.

Toilets super small, only 2 cubicles. Old campus there were 10.

Canteen very small also, smaller than some other sec sch's. Not much bigger than the old canteen.

Hall's roof very low.

Almost all windows have a sunshade.

Painted in trendy, hip colours in abstract forms.

Air con classrooms.

Indoor basketball courts painted onto the floor in the hall. Also painted in are several badminton courts.

4 storeys tall

'Themed' abstract design both inside and outside.


But it looks quite plain. You should see AMKSS's campus. Looks kinda like Petronas!
Deyi's look like Art Deco, but ugly. In yellowish-brown bricks.

the last school i attended in sg for a significant period fo tiem was dunman high school.



its round centre is supposed to invoke the circular apartments in china. i think. in the middle is a large circular patch of grass that no one can step on. it is very veryv ery troublesome to have to walk along the circumference of the circle to get from one side to the other. grrr.

it is visible behind the two ppl here. it's called the zhen xin yuan.

Post:




at the foyer there is also a rather striking three storey spiral staircase. i would rather it be an elevator. again, behind the people.


Post:




nestled comfortably under the spiral staircase is an ancient upright piano that cannot be used properly anymore. it has thus been left in the foyer for anyone to play. me and friends often played. i'm not sure if it's been discarded now.

although shitty as hell, it brings back lovely memories.

Post:


that's all i can find in my stash of photos.

Nanyang Junior College - my friend's there and she took some pictures of the new campus.







bad colour scheme so typical of govt buildings
















a fountain akin to that in the basement of raffles city but smaller





exposed ceiling in library




the old nyjc. already look haunted haha




lame

[RafflesCity]

I like the NYJC dustbin and the inside looks like a mall!

[heirloom]

anyone got pics of queensway or queenstown secondary schooL? the one with the tilting hall or library or something

[RafflesCity]

Whats nice about Queensway Sec Sch?

[heirloom]

uh see their website http://queensway.sch.edu.sg/home.html .. not much but a bigger version of this

[ignoramus]

Going to Queensway Sec is like going to Changi Airport everyday. Where students will yell to one another ''Eh Science lesson today ah at T1 or T2?'' etc I guess...lame...

Queensway sec reminds me of Barney. So purple. And the student population IMO comprises so much of malays.

NYJC's colour schemes looks so LEGO. Bad colour choice for the building, like for the uniform. STILL, I guess its better to have a weirdly coloured but vibrant studying environment rather than a boring government propaganda colour scheme for a school building.

The ''NYJC'' ruins the design of the nice dustbin.

Wah so much money for a fountain. I bet they dont turn it on most of the time.

Old Victoria School = SAS current premises right.

Deyi looks scary like those haunted castles. Imagine the blue uniforms contrast with the brown bricks.

The NYJC picture feel like a new mall or something......maybe Nanyang Mall.......

[redstone]

Old Victoria School, also the former Christ Church sec campus, at Jalan Besar. It is a small Neo Classical building.

NYJC really leveraging on the fact that NanYang's acronym is NY. They proudly proclaim ''I Love NY'' this and that...stealing New York's ''slogan'' of sorts... I don't see them proclaiming ''I Love 南洋''. Certainly shows how everyone wants to be associated with the West rather than the East.

What will the mall's tenants be then? Lets make up our very own Nanyang Mall. We put the types of shops that we want/think will be in it.

The colour scheme affects the type of tenants that are most likely to locate their businesses in the mall. So for this type of colour scheme, it definitely won't attract Gucci or Armani.

The colour scheme looks more like suburban mall looking...

Since the school doesn't have any basement.

Level 1 - Lobby/Car Park (My GP tutor says this word doesn't exist. Its a Singaporean/Asian english term. It should be known instead as Parking Lots or something).

Level 2 - McDonalds (Based on the colour scheme, McDonalds should be the anchor tenant, ''McDonalds Hub@NY''), KOPITIAM Food Court, BreadTalk

Level 3 - Popular Bookshop (Anchor Tenant too), Quickly Bubble Tea, That 10 mins 10 dollars haircut shop, Clinic, Giordano. Thats about it...haha...

yar nyjc's colour scheme is really very lego. as for the fountain, i think fountains mean something to nyjc therefore the extra expenditure on a fountain like that.. i can't remember what maybe its in their school song.

dunman high school has a fountain as well in the middle of the green island cars circle around to get to the foyer.

your analysis of nanyang mall's make up seems pretty correct.. any sophisticated looking schools in sg?

Define sophisticated.
- High class looking? (Think Fullerton)
- Modern glassy sleek etc design?
- Or like there are many facilities?
- etc etc etc

i think the new lasalle-sia will be very nice



truly mall-ish

Yucks the NAFA looks like an industrial building with those square windows and edges. Like it manufactures tupperware or something.

The colour scheme is another NY wannabe.

Overall the architects dont know how to design. Like they having PMS during the months they took to design it.

But maybe NAFA students want a cheerful environment so they wanted such a design?

[eyetoeye]

NAFA looks like something the cow threw up after having something bad for breakfast...

NY looks so pretty! I'm so envious...

Catholic High School

[RafflesCity]
