[SINGAPORE] At universities in land-strapped Singapore, students may one day
borrow books from an underground library, attend lectures in a subterranean
auditorium or even swim in an Olympic-size swimming pool below sea level.
Two of the city's public universities, Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
and the National University of Singapore (NUS), have completed preliminary
studies on developing the space beneath their campuses for lecture theatres,
laboratories, sports facilities and performance halls.
A third school, Singapore Management University (SMU), has already
constructed a basement-level space linking its main above-ground buildings.
At NTU, a group of researchers has spent the past year gathering available
data on the university's surface topography and subsurface geology.
