Resembling a giant UFO hovering in mid-air, Eunoia Junior College’s (EJC) elevated track and field is truly one of a kind in Singapore. But even more remarkable is the sheer number of facilities that lie beneath. Tucked under the sprawling structure are the school’s 900-seater auditorium, canteen, parade square and even an indoor sports hall!
Fitting so many facilities on such a small plot of land was an exercise in ingenuity. “It was a small site, so everything had to be compacted,” said Er Joanne Ee, the project’s Qualified Person (QP) taking charge of the construction of Singapore’s first high-rise JC.
For her outstanding work on EJC, she was conferred the BCA Design & Engineering Safety ‘Excellence’ Award (DESA) in 2021.
