Millennia Institute - Campus

Campus

Prior to 12 December 2006, Millennia Institute operated at 2 separated campuses, at Toh Tuck Road (Toh Tuck Campus) and Bartley Road (Bartley Campus). Both campuses carried the name of "Millennia Institute", however, and were differentiated by their respective titles. This naming convention resulted in a deeply embedded feeling of isolation and alienation among students from either campus, as were prevalent during joint campus activities such as Track and Field meets, joint CCA events and non-curricular activities such as Post-Promotional Examinations field trips. On 12 December 2006, Millennia Institute's operation at Toh Tuck and Bartley Campuses were moved to the new campus at Bukit Batok West Avenue 8, and the Toh Tuck Road campus was to be converted into the temporary premises of Bukit Batok Secondary School in June 2007, while the Bartley Road campus is due for demolition. Millennia Institute embarked on programmes to integrate the students from the two different campuses in Toh Tuck and Bartley, to facilitate operations in the new unified campus at Bukit Batok, where students from both campuses began their 2007 academic year in the new campus.

Toh Tuck campus offered the Science, Arts and Commerce streams. The Science stream constituted nearly 50% of the entire campus in the 2006 JAE batch, while Bartley campus provides only the Arts and Commerce stream, which do not provide Science subjects due to the lack of facilities and teaching staff. However, the JAE 2006 batch was eventually promoted to PU2 (Pre-University 2), and began their second year in the new Bukit Batok campus after the two campuses are consolidated into one. Millennia Institute provides all Science, Arts and Commerce subjects, including Biology, which was absent from 2004 to 2006 due to the lack of facilities at Toh Tuck Campus.

The new campus at Bukit Batok is a fully functional, purpose-built pre-university centre complete with facilities including the sports complex with running track and astro-turf hockey pitch; 2 lecture theatres that are designed to accommodate the entire enrollment.

Tutorial rooms are built into a single block, streamlined to connect the tutorial rooms conveniently to the lecture rooms, canteen, laboratories and other facilities, such as a fully air conditioned multi-purpose hall, 2 lecture rooms, IT hubs and library, known as 'MindSpace', sports complex and field and other sports facilities such as the 2 tennis, 2 basketball, badminton and volleyball courts, and other arts-related or welfare-related facilities.
