The interim campus of the Singapore University of Technology and Design was at the previous ITE College Dover campus in Dover until December 2014.

The university's permanent campus, which opened in January 2015, is situated near the Changi Business Park and on the Downtown MRT Line; Upper Changi Station serves it. As of 2018, SUTD is the only university in Singapore's eastern part.
