YUNGU CAMPUS
INTRODUCING YUNGU: THE CAMPUS OF THE FUTURE
We have built one of the most stunning, sustainable, and multi-functional campuses in the world for our Westlake community.
In the heart of an expanding university town, between a major technology hub and the ancient ruins and art district of Liangzhu, Yungu Campus is at the confluence of the old and new. And at 170 football fields in size, it's big.
With approximately 300 state-of-the-art independent laboratories for outstanding researchers, Yungu Campus not only boasts some of the best facilities in the world for research, exploration, and interdisciplinary engagement, but also a campus specifically designed with quality of life in mind for our students, scientists, and engineers.
The campus has already opened many of its world-class facilities, and will see the completion of all construction by 2024. Learn more about the planned highlights of this remarkable campus of the future:
Academic Ring
The Academic Ring is at the core of Yungu Campus and the main construction complex for teaching, research, and other academic activities. The Academic Ring comprises a massive circular corridor interconnecting the four blocks which house our three schools: School of Life Sciences, School of Science, and School of Engineering.
Life Sciences Building
On the southwest side of the Academic Ring, next to the river is the Life Sciences Building. The ubiquitous green of the building compliments the soft colors of the water and gardens to both sides. A vigorous vitality, the power of growth, this is the color and theme of the School of Life Sciences.
Engineering Buildings
The group of blue-themed engineering buildings are located on the east side of the Academic Ring. The School of Engineering of Westlake University has special centers dedicated to the study of artificial intelligence, nano energy, environmental resources, and others. Blue represents the deep color of the sky and the sea, places of exploration demanding sophisticated intelligence and cutting-edge equipment.

The building will form a teaching and research complex together with the Academic Laboratories, Collaborative Research Center, Library, and the Academic Ring.
Collaborative Research Center
At the Collaborative Research Center, training sessions will be provided on the guidelines and procedures used for the university research equipment. Faculty and students will receive professional technical guidance and basic training in the use of instruments.
Westlake Residential Colleges
The Westlake Residential Colleges will be in the northeast corner of the campus. The four colleges will provide comfortable spaces for undergraduates to live and learn.
Health Center
The Health Center will offer basic medical care for Westlake community members.
