Yao hua college campus and athletic complex

State of art educational facilities for 4300 international and Chinese students, and comprise of 800,000 s.f of building.

Building on the tradition of excellence established at it’s downtown Tianjin location, this new campus has been developed to provide state of art educational facilities for 4300 international and Chinese students, and comprise of 800,000 s.f of building.

Positioned at the terminus of a major pedestrian only boulevard, a central, contemporary quadrangle is the primary organizing element of the campus, flanked by the main administration building. In an effort to encourage community use of specialized facilities, the auditorium, arts and physical education buildings are located on the main street facing the adjacent residential community.

Within the quadrangle, the historically referenced library and information centre is the symbolic heart of the school, bordered by pod-like academic buildings positioned in a stepped configuration. Dormitories and living quarters for faculty form the perimeter of the campus. j.v. with Allied Architects International.
