ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The design reshapes a new edge for the campus, interpreting the meanings of separation and openness, clamor and quiet, definition and freedom, while redefining the relationship between the artificial and the natural, and between the city and the campus.

diagonally staggered arrangement of fiber cement panels creates a rich“ micro-expression” across the surface, making the building a new landmark on campus.
The entrance hall connects seamlessly with the service hall and self-service hall, forming a one stop comprehensive service hub. The open plan design creates convenient circulation routes for handling business while also offering rich possibilities for hosting various events. A grand staircase naturally guides people up to the second floor and the shared side atrium, establishing a continuous public space system. The design of the side atrium continues the overall coherence of the building’ s exterior; windows are placed to follow the path of the stairs, achieving a perfect harmony between space and facade. Thoughtful blank spaces within the freely accessible activity areas leave room for students to reinterpret and personalize them in the future. The multi-purpose concert hall is accessible from both the first and second floors. With professional-grade acoustics and stage design, it can accommodate a wide range of needs— from conferences and concerts to film screenings and theatrical performances.
