The Business Zone is becoming more and more vibrant. In yet another new teaching and learning room, green is the predominant hue, whereas the contrasting white lettering encourage cross-continental collaboration. The adjacent PBL and DT co-working room is equipped with comfy couches, armchairs, and coffee tables. It is your dream spot for creative thinking or for immersing yourself in peaceful reflection that precedes brainstorming. In no way does the decor, designed by JTI, or Japan Tobacco International, evoke the profile of the company's operations.
