The Ngee Ann Kongsi Library is at Level 5, W1 Campus Heart, Singapore Institute of Technology, 1 Punggol Coast Road. Take Punggol Coast MRT and use Exit 1 for SIT. The university’s public campus areas are separate from the library, so confirm your library access before travelling.
SIT alumni planning to visit should contact the Office of SITizen Experience in advance for help arranging a temporary access card. Current students should check the library’s own hours and booking pages for the service they need. If you want a public library, look up the NLB Comics & Games Library near the Coast station or Punggol Regional Library at One Punggol.

How to reach W1 Campus Heart
Follow SIT’s directions from Exit 1 to campus, then use the university wayfinder to locate W1 Campus Heart. W1 and Level 5 are the details to keep with the address. A map pin for the university as a whole is useful for travelling to the neighbourhood but can leave you on the wrong side of campus.
If you are attending an admissions event or a hosted appointment, use the organiser’s check-in instructions. A campus event may have its own assembly point. Confirm whether your appointment includes access to the library before you make it a stop on your itinerary.
What SIT alumni should arrange first
SIT’s library help page asks alumni to contact the Office of SITizen Experience ahead of time to arrange temporary card access. Tell the team when you plan to visit. If you need a specific collection, terminal or service, also contact the library so it can confirm what is available to you.
The alumni FAQ says alumni can read the print materials on site. It also notes that access to some electronic resources is limited to specialised terminals under publisher licences. A working campus access card and the ability to log in to a database are different things. Verify the particular resource before relying on it for a deadline.
The alumni guidance lists closures on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Use the library’s current hours page to confirm your weekday plan, particularly during a holiday period.
What current students should check
Check opening hours for the day you need and look up the individual library service. Studying alone, booking a space for a project group and asking for a library consultation are different tasks. The student booking page explains which services use a booking process.
For a group visit, settle the time and room before telling classmates where to meet. If a group includes someone from outside the university, check their access with the library before assuming they can enter under the same arrangements.
Which areas can general visitors use?
SIT identifies certain spaces on and below Campus Boulevard at Level 2 as publicly accessible, including the Community Park and the Visitor Gallery. The library is on Level 5. If the library is the reason for your visit, ask SIT directly about any arrangements that apply to you.
If you are showing someone the campus, build the walk around places SIT lists as public and follow signs at the site. If your group has set a meeting, name a specific public landmark. This makes it easier for visitors and students arriving separately.
Which Punggol library suits your visit?
For comics, graphic novels or games, check NLB’s Comics & Games Library at Punggol Coast Mall. For a broader public collection or a family library visit, look up Punggol Regional Library at One Punggol. Check NLB’s own entry arrangements and hours for whichever venue you choose.
Use the names in full when inviting friends. “Punggol library” can mean the university library, the specialised NLB branch or the regional library. Give the name, building and floor when the venue matters.
