Shanghai Advanced Research Institute – Shanghai Tech

Located on a prominent site adjacent to two of Shanghai`s principal connections to the Pudong - Shanghai International Airport, and centered within the Zhang Jiang Science and Technology Park, the new campus for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will become an iconic symbol of the region`s exciting growth in the high-tech field while simultaneously creating an innovative, memorable and humane place for study and research. The new University is envisioned to become a vibrant hub of activity bringing students, faculty, administration, as well as, business and research leaders into joint entrepreneurial pursuits furthering the richness of the campus experience. A contemporary Crescent linking research, administration, teaching and library faces the Great Lawn on the campus` south side forming an embracing and welcoming entry sequence. Extending northwards radially from the Lawn are three axis of differing landscaped characters – pastoral, formal academic and lively urban – each a linear “green” for the campus` three primary neighborhoods. Intersecting the Greens and linking the neighborhoods is the Gallery, a curved, enclosed multi-use promenade that serves the Residential Village, four of the academic Colleges and the primary entrepreneurial and research facilities. Developed with an integrated below-grade service level and a wide variety of passive and active energy production and conservation strategies, the campus will strive toward being a leading example of sustainable resource stewardship.
