Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) has aunched a new campus in Taicang, China.
The award-winning campus will be the new home of XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang), which admitted its first cohort of students in 2019.
Located in the Taicang High-Tech Development Zone on the edge of Shanghai, the new state-of-the-art campus plans to support 10,000 students and 1,200 staff members.
XJTLU Entrepreneur College consists of seven schools, each offering its own innovative programmes.
Each school will be hosted in its own specialist U-shaped building, connected by a kilometre-long circular hub, which links the schools in a collaborative campus concept.
HPP Architects won a prestigious design award for designing the campus which aims to symbolise collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Established in 2006 through a partnership between Xi’an Jiaotong University and the University of Liverpool, XJTLU has grown rapidly to become the largest international joint venture university in China, with the new Taicang campus being the latest development.
XJTLU boasts more than 25,000 students from around the world with more than 2,000 staff from approximately 50 countries and regions. All the classes are in English.

China’s infrastructure developement needs to be studied. And someone needs to check if these buildings are being used. Cause we know are “ghost” cities in China.

Signage/wayfinding on the exterior of the campus, but none in the interior? Or am I missing something?

This is like taking Apple’s mothership and multiplying it by Inception.
Haha yes now, get that montrex on
In North America schools can’t even provide a simple healthy meal for kids. This is impossible in North America.
