UOB Innovation Hub
Building located in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
About
UOB Innovation Hub, formerly The Hive, also known as Learning Hub South, is a building located in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The S$45 million building was designed by Thomas Heatherwick and completed in 2015. Colloquially, the building is known as the "dim sum basket building" due to its likeness to the steamer baskets used to contain dim sum.
On 25 March 2026, The Hive was renamed UOB Innovation Hub, with 18 out of 56 classrooms converted to house NTU-affiliated start-ups instead of classes, sparking outrage among students from the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. The Hub is supported by a $110 million investment by UOB and the Wee Foundation in April 2025.
