The International Campus, Zhejiang University, located in Haining, Zhejiang, China, is a Zhejiang University (ZJU) campus that came into use in 2016 as a base for international cooperation, including two joint institutes with the University of Edinburgh and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a joint lab with Imperial College London.[1][2][3] It is also home to Zhejiang University International Business School founded on the campus in November 2018.[4] During the COVID-19 pandemic, it also hosts exchange students of several US universities including Cornell University.[5]
The construction of the campus started in 2013 as a collaboration between the university and the Haining government.[6] The first batch of students arrived in 2016.[7][8] In 2019, its development was included in The Outline of Regional Integration of the Yangtze River Delta Region, thus becoming a national plan. The International Joint Innovation Center was founded on the campus in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education.[7] In 2021, International Campus, ZJU station came into use as the terminal station of the Hangzhou-Haining Intercity Railway.[9]
With an area of 67 hectares, the campus is located between Lake Juanhu to the south and the Changsha River Wetland Park to the north. 60% of the campus was designed by the Architectural Design and Research Institute of Zhejiang University (UAD), one of the oldest architecture firms in China.[10] Neo-classical styled, the campus buildings have exterior walls made of fair-faced red bricks, which presents slight differences in designs across the three functional zones, including British-styled residential colleges, teaching and service complexes and scientific research buildings.[11] Elements such as red-brick walls, solid and steady stone bases, traditional Chinese sloping roofs are used to mimic the architectural styles of Yuquan Campus buildings built in different historical periods.[12]
