A Showcase of Sustainable Innovation
The Eunoia Junior College (EJC), located in Bishan, Singapore, is a cutting-edge campus featuring two blocks of 10 and 12 stories. Designed to host a range of spaces, including a 900-seat auditorium, seminar rooms, classrooms, and science laboratories, the project focuses on integrating sustainable materials and innovative construction techniques. The structure combines reinforced concrete with prefabricated timber-Cree slabs by Rhomberg, forming a hybrid system that balances durability and environmental consciousness.
Timber Façade and Prefabrication Excellence
The façade is crafted from prefabricated CLT elements, pre-assembled with a fire-retardant coating and Rothoblaas waterproofing membranes. This design choice ensures rapid and safe on-site assembly, conducted entirely from the interior without scaffolding. This approach not only accelerates construction but also significantly enhances sustainability. The CLT elements, engineered to meet stringent requirements for fire resistance, waterproofing, and durability, offer a testament to the potential of timber prefabrication in large-scale projects.
Our Scope of Work
Here, you’ll find the engineering foundation behind this primary school. Take a journey through the technical efforts driving our designs.
Engineering and Performance Optimization
Ergodomus Timber Engineering provided detailed engineering services within a BIM workflow, ensuring seamless collaboration and precise execution. Special attention was given to waterproofing details and dynamic thermo-hygrometric analysis using WuFi software, confirming the resilience of the CLT panels even under the region’s equatorial climate. In addition, a significant focus was placed on optimizing logistics, reducing the number of containers required while maximizing space efficiency.
Commissioned by Woodtek, our trusted Taiwanese partner, this project highlights the potential of timber engineering and the importance of sustainability in the construction of modern educational facilities. Stay tuned as we continue our collaboration on similarly innovative projects!
