Teaching Block A&B are the biggest twin buildings in the Jinjiang Campus. The entire campus plan was inspired by the "Red Brick Cuo Village" preserved from Ming Dynasty, which is constructed in a unique way with white stone embedded in red brick wall. Instead of setting up 12 separated buildings, we integrated various modules into two micro villages with united courtyards, linking all departments to share all teaching resources. The integrated teaching blocks not only save land for the campus, but also connect different schools together to encourage interdisciplinary exchange and research.
