The school headquarters is located in Suzhou National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, the ancient city, adjacent to the famous Hanshan Temple and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, covering an area of 500 mu, with a total construction area of 1.5 million square meters, a library construction area of 1.7 million square meters and a collection of nearly 300,000 books. In the garden-like campus, rivers are criss-crossing, trees are sparse, walls are covered with white tiles, and green grass is everywhere. The teaching area, experimental area, student living area and staff living area are all bounded by rivers and connected by bridges, and the environment is elegant, showing a poetic charm of Jiangnan water town. Take bus 17, 3, 30 1, 6 to the campus. Shihu Campus is located in the scenic Shihu Lake, covering an area of nearly 360 mu, with a school building area of 1.45 million square meters and a library of 350,000 books. Campus architecture is rich in Jiangnan garden characteristics and has been awarded the titles of "Top 300 National Afforestation and Greening Units" and "Garden Campus". Take bus No.33 and No.305 to the campus. The campus of Tian Ping University is about 5 kilometers away from the headquarters, located at the junction of Suzhou New District and Mudu Town in Wuxian County. The new area is east of Changjiang Road, backed by Hengshan Mountain, facing Lingyan Mountain, with Chess Mountain in the south and Lion Mountain in the north. It has beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. The planned land area of the park is 650 mu, of which the first phase of development covers an area of 250 mu, with an investment of 65.438+0.6 billion yuan. At present, the built-up area has reached 65,438. It includes three functional areas: the west end is adjacent to Changjiang Road in Suzhou New District, which is the entrance and exit of the school and the main teaching area. There are four teaching buildings, an administrative building, a basic office building, a library and an electrochemical laboratory in the main teaching area. There is a standard playground with a 400-meter track in the student activity area, and there are basketball courts and volleyball courts on both sides of the playground. The student activity area is not only the transition between the main teaching area and the student living area, but also provides sufficient traffic and environmental space for the relative independence of their functions. The student living area is located at the easternmost end of the venue. The whole first phase of the project is surrounded by river network, which is not only convenient for rainwater drainage, but also a natural barrier for the campus.
Because you are an art student, the architecture major of the Institute of Technology is the most famous, but it is not clear whether to recruit art students, because the recruitment situation in 2008 has not come out, you can call for advice.
Friendly reminder: Institute of Technology, as a Suzhou native, has only gained some fame in recent years, and its social influence is not great. I hope you will reconsider making a full report.
