This is expected to be completed by 2025.Anderson Serangoon JC will move temporarily to the former Serangoon JC site while its current campus in Ang Mo Kio is being rebuilt.Mr Ong explained that it was decided that the merged JC will be located at the former Anderson JC site as it is next to Yio Chu Kang MRT station.
A new campus will be built for Jurong Pioneer JC at the site of the former Jurong JC. Mr Ong explained that the permanent site was chosen for the merged JC as it is near the Jurong Lake District, and will be served by the future Jurong Region MRT Line.
