As the new semester approaches, the freshmen of NPU are eagerly arriving on campus, while many students embark on their journey back to school. After a break, the campus has undergone some changes. Let's take a glimpse of what's new.
In response to the concerns raised by students and teachers regarding the campus environment of Youyi Campus, the school has implemented a comprehensive campus environment improvement project. At the same time, the project aims to improve the study and living conditions for students such as classroom conditions, sports facilities, student dining, dormitory bathroom conditions, enhancement of express delivery and waste management public services.
Road Section: Creating Smooth Traffic Flow
Following the renovation, the teaching and research zone at the Youyi Campus has achieved a separation of pedestrians and vehicles. The pedestrian flow paths are convenient and comfortable, maximizing the safety of teachers and students. The traffic flow for vehicles is rational, smooth, and does not compromise the campus landscape. This transformation has completely resolved issues such as the mixing of pedestrians and vehicles and disorderly parking within the teaching and research zone at the Youyi Campus.
Landscape Section: Creating a Beautiful Campus
The integrated design and enhancement of the landscape system in the teaching and research zone have been implemented. High-quality lawns have been laid, and existing trees have been properly maintained. Additionally, new tree species with rich seasonal foliage changes, such as Photinia fraseri and ligustrum vicaryi, have been added to further enrich the spatial and color variations, creating an open and well-structured campus green space.
Furthermore, the college has removed some iron fences between the teaching and research zone and the main campus roads, optimizing the campus public spaces.
So far, 14 green space renovation projects have been completed. The total renovated area exceeds 40,000 square meters.
