The central courtyard, formed by the academic building in the north-south end and the offices in the east-west end, is designed as the most active space on campus. It is connected to the playground under the platform on the west side of the academic building. Moreover, there are abundant landscape facilities, such as the rain garden and sponge city displays for students to get in touch with the nature, and the delicate plant design also increases the campus’ visual attractiveness.
