NTU@one-north

Nice meeting place for talks, seminars, discussions and functions

Nice quiet place to work for NTU students/staff and alumni.

Nearer MRT station to this place is actually buona vista station instead of one north. Anyway it is not difficult to locate this place.

Conducive environment for learning...

Great gym facility. Liked the pasta at Luna cafe.

Went to wedding venue..closeby to Buona vista MRT.Jus behind MOE building..

Deserted paradise. Plenty of car park lots. Few cars. Few people too. Nothing much to see or experience here. Used to be a very happening place years ago. Then they did an extensive revamp. Out went the fantastic eating spot on 6th floor. Along went the karaoke. Not sure what happened to the Confucius Institute. But in came a REALLY delightful Luna Concept which is the most pleasant place to calm your soul, feed your taste buds and chill till the cows come home. Overall, NTUAC had done a really good job in revamping this duckling of an alumni club. Walking around, there is dignified silence and sanctuary atmosphere here. Toilets are spic and span - spotless and odorless. Btw where else can you see braille signboards outside toilets? Will the on-going revamp of the gym be another gem? Come June we will know.

The recent changes to the gym are abysmal. My complaints are as follows: 1) There is not nearly enough equipment, especially considering the large space.  There is currently only 1 multipurpose machine in the gym which means the gym only really has capacity to support a SINGLE member doing exercises on machines.  The gym should have many more machines that are intended for isolated muscle groups.  Installing only a single multi-purpose machine (which is inferior to separate machines that focus on a single muscle/muscle group) is a poor excuse for installing the necessary equipment for a good gym. 2) Qualified gyms have at least 2 and often 3 stations for heavy lifting (i.e. benchpress machines and squats).  Previously, the NTU gym had six of these stations!  Now the gym has one. 3) Although the gym has just opened, I noticed the only existing weight machine in the gym was broken yesterday as the steel pulley wire had come off completely from the pulley.  I spent 20 minutes myself fixing the machine but this is not my job.  The equipment seems to be easily broken (or perhaps not the highest quality) if it breaks so easily and so quickly.  Furthermore, this is the only weight machine in the gym ---- if it is broken the gym is essentially useless. 4) The free weights set is completely unacceptable.  The highest weight is 20 kilograms.  Previously the gym had free weights going up to at least 25 kg, but the gym also had 10 kg bars to which weight plates could be added, so this weight could be increased. This free weight set is to small and inadequate and there should be more 10 kg, and 20 kg bars to which weight plates can be added. 5) The benches in the gym (on which people lay on to do exercises) are of low quality and cannot be set completely flat.  They are light and tip much easier than the previous benches in the gym.  Furthermore there are only 2 benches whereas previously there were 6. 6) There are no longer any shelves in the gym to place bags/water bottles, mats for doing floor exercise, exercise bands, or any other exercise equipment accessories which were present in the previous gym.
