Campus Location

DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore is located in the PIXEL Building at 10 Central Exchange Green, a newly constructed road just off Portsdown Road in the Buona Vista area. The building is visible from Portsdown Road and is just a block or two from the new Fusionopolis building complex.

Directions (extracted from DigiPen Website)

By public transport, take the MRT to Buona Vista. From there (North Buona Vista Road bus stop directly outside the station), you can take bus 191 to Portsdown Road and get off at stop B10 (Opposite Fusionopolis). The bus ride only takes a few minutes and stops quite close to the school. 
Information about the Bus 191

Alternatively, you may take MRT to One-North MRT Station (Circle Line), which is much nearer. Look for EXIT B. Once you come out from the underground station, follow the shethered walkway and turn right. You will pass by a bus stop. There's a junction ahead. Walk to the building that is located diagonally opposite. Use pedestrian crossing (to cross 2 traffic lights)









By car or taxi, turn left (if you are coming from the east) off of North Buona Vista Road onto Portsdown Road (you'll see a sign for "Temasek Club" as well). You will pass Fusionopolis on your right, while you should follow the road as it curves to the left a bit and then again to the right. You will see the school ahead (Pixel, as indicated on the map). Turn left onto Central Exchange Green and immediately left again to enter the carpark for the school.

You may also enter via North Buona Vista Road. Make a turn into One North Gateway and follow the road down. The school will be on your left where you can make a left turn at the junction of Portsdown Road and Central Exchange Green.


Important things to note:
  • Have a heavy breakfast/lunch. The food court is not situated at convenient locations.
  • Bring along with you bottles of water.
  • Bring along a THUMBDRIVE with you.
Meet up with the teachers at the lift lobby.
You attendance will be taken before going to the lab.

Teachers:
  • Thursday (10 November): [PM] Ms Loh, Mr Igham
  • Friday (11 November): [AM] Ms Loh, Mrs Lim [PM] Mr Yeo, Mr Chan
