Background

edit

Located at the Campbell Lane thoroughfare in the Little India precinct, the 3,090 square metres (33,300 sq ft) centre was launched on 7 May 2015.[2]

The facade's architectural style is influenced by the baoli (or Indian stepwell), to seek an appreciation of the Indian culture.[3]
