Introducing Gaia, the largest wooden building in Asia

Introducing Gaia, NTU's newest building. Let Nanyang Business School student Chang Jit Wei take you on a tour of the largest wooden building in Asia.

The six-storey Gaia houses a 190-seat auditorium, 12 lecture theatres and 15 seminar rooms. The exposed wood aesthetic of the building helps to make it environmentally friendly, as it reduces the use of materials such as paint and tiling that are associated with high levels of pollution during their production.

The use of sustainable construction methods such as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) and Mass Engineered Timber (MET) means the project has already achieved the BCA Green Mark Platinum Net Zero Energy Building award.
