In July 2010, a 9.54-hectare mega-campus was opened, operating four schools - the School of Business and Services, School of Hospitality, School of Engineering and School of Info-Comm Technology. Four of the ITE campuses, Dover, Balestier, Bukit Batok and Clementi Campuses were merged into ITE College West.[1]
The campus, which was built by Gammon Construction under a PPP contract,[2] was officially opened on 18 April 2011 by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.[3]
