Introduction

The project, located on the high-tech development axis of Shenzhen’s Nanshan District, integrates education, research, industry-university-research cooperation, and international exchanges, and stays committed to building itself into a third-generation lab cluster that is open, dynamic and friendly to disciplinary exchanges.

Guided by product study, the building is divided into two parts by function: one is for office use and the other for labs. The lower tower is placed at riverside while the higher tower is turned 90° to face the south for a wide view. The setback design at the southeast and northwest corners relieves the pressure posed by high-rise buildings.

The design adopts modular design system and new fabricated techniques while exploratorily uses BIM positive design to integrate structural and electric systems with the building, making the project Shenzhen’s first precast concrete lab building, also the first high-rise education building with BIM application throughout its full life circle.
