About YIH

Originally built in 1977, YIH served for decades as a vibrant centre for student activity, expression, and engagement. In 2022, the building underwent a major redesign to meet the evolving needs of the NUS community — with a strong emphasis on sustainability, inclusivity, and flexibility.

The Net-Zero Goal

YIH was designed with sustainability in mind. Features include:

  • Hybrid-cooling system
  • Solar energy integration
  • Smart building technology
  • Rainwater harvesting system
  • Greywater recycling

 

In recognition of its environmental innovation and
architectural stewardship, YIH received the Asia
Pacific Bronze prize in the 2023 Holcim Awards
for Sustainable Construction.
