10 Design (part of Egis Group), in collaboration with local architect BIAD, has won an international competition to design a new campus for the International Co-operation Innovation Zone (phase 1) at Dongguan University of Technology in China.
Situated in an ecological belt of the Songshan Lake district, the new campus sprawls over a wider site area of 137,273sq m. Phase 1 of which will provide large shared facilities, residential areas and flexible laboratory spaces to create a world-class research destination.
Our design for the new campus is deeply rooted in the natural environment of the site, offering a people-oriented, sustainable and technology-driven campus. The main facilities are all fully integrated with the existing landscape, providing a healthy, flexible and vibrant campus for scientists and researchers.
Inspired by the idea of creating a ‘knowledge park’, 10 Design has envisioned a central courtyard that functions as the heart of the campus to foster social interaction and knowledge exchange. The University’s shared facilities and laboratory spaces unfold around this green space, providing equal access and visibility and delivering a first-class R&D building to attract the best research talent from across the world.
The design for the new campus of the Dongguan University of Technology maximises the natural texture of the site and brings together landscape, science and talent.
