Non-ADM Students Can Return to ADM to Study

Posters prohibiting non-ADM students from utilising its premises have been taken down.

Just last week, signs were still up around the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) indicating its premises were only permitted for use by ADM students.

But in a statement released on Saturday noon, after The Nanyang Chronicle’s press time, the school announced that the signs had been removed.

“ADM welcomes all NTU students to use the public spaces within the School,” said the Chair of the school, Professor Vibeke Sorensen.

However, she emphasised priority would still be given to ADM students over the use of the School’s facilities — especially so during the examination period.

“The signs had been put up earlier during the exam period, not to forbid people from using these spaces, but to encourage them to give priority to ADM students.”

“Since the exams are over, the school has since removed the signs,” she said.

Esther Loh, 21, a first-year student from ADM said: “I can understand why the signs were put up. There is very little or close to no space for ADM students to work outside of their classrooms, as most of the school building is made up of classrooms or 3D art rooms.”

ADM has yet to comment whether the signs would be put back up during this semester’s examination period.
