Lee Wee Nam Library
This is NTU’s flagship library building and was named in recognition for a generous donation by the family of the late Mr Lee Wee Nam. It houses the Engineering and Science collections and the Library administration. This well photographed building has reading space to cater for both group discussion and learning as well as individual quiet reading. The window seats, in particular at Level 5, overlook the green campus surroundings and have an excellent view of Jurong West and even parts of the Straits of Johor.

—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
