New MediaCorp headquarters breaks ground

MediaCorp held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new headquarters at Mediapolis@one-north, a complex designed by Maki & Associates of Japan and done in collaboration with DP Architects as the project architect.

The ceremony, held on 11 November 2011, was attended by Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts. Slated for completion in 2015, the development will replace MediaCorp’s current Caldecott Hill campus and transform the nature of the company’s facilities – a new ‘fenceless’ design, for instance, will replace the ‘closed campus’ feel of the current facility by offering numerous opportunities for public engagement with an open plaza and public touring spaces. The complex will host large, collaborative workspaces to unify MediaCorp’s numerous media outlets under a single roof.
