The Singapore Management University (SMU) last year introduced SMU Labs, which will be used to teach modules where students learn through real-world projects with organisations.

Situated within the old MPH building in Stamford Road, the 24-hour facility features rooms with specific functions. The walls and floor of the white room are meant for scribbling down ideas, while another room has sofa beds for students to take power naps.
