HCIBS

Hwa Chong Institution Boarding School (HCIBS), consist of 7 six-storey Halls of Residence (Halls A-G), providing accommodation for 1,000 boarders and 56 cluster mentors.
Each level of every hall consists of two clusters, where a cluster mentor acts as parent to a group of 18-24 boarders. Each cluster has 3 four-bedded rooms and 3 two-bedded rooms. The creation of the clusters provides various levels of "community", starting from communication between individual boarders, to cluster of boarders and their hall mates, and to the entire boarding population of the Hall. Communal facilities within each cluster include lift access on every level, air-conditioned study room, shower and rest rooms as well as a pantry.
The circular block located next to the curved block offers a multi-purpose and a dining hall. The V-shape courtyard between the curved block and the straight block enclosed a recreation centre and a festive garden with a koi pond for boarders to gather and to have social functions. A small amphitheatre and BBQ pits are included in the garden, offering an open area for the boarders to organise activities.
The boarders share a variety of facilities like a music room, a computer room, a fitness centre, laundry facilities and a convenience store. All boarders may also make use of the recreational facilities within Hwa CHong Institution. These include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, gymnasium, running track, tennis, basketball, squash and badminton courts.
Access to the residential blocks and rooms is managed by a smart card system. A team of full-time security professionals maintain round-the-clock security of the boarding complex.
