The history of Yibin College can be traced back to the Yibin Normal College founded in 1978. After restructuring and the accumulation of academic resources since the reform and opening up, it merged with the Yibin Branch of Sichuan Institute of Education on May 11, 2001, to form Yibin College, becoming the first institution of Yibin City. The first undergraduate college; and gradually transformed from a school focusing on teacher education into a multi-disciplinary applied comprehensive university, cultivating a large number of talents for the development of various fields in Yibin City. Yibin University has also formed an "innovative, applied and international" school-running pattern, recruiting undergraduate and junior college students from 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in mainland China, and also recruiting international students from South Asia and Southeast Asia. [2] [3]

History

In 1975, Sichuan Normal College established a pilot class called "Come and go" in Maiba Township, Lizhuang District, which was named as the Yibin Branch of Sichuan Normal University. This was the predecessor of Yibin College. In June 1977, the school was restructured into Yibin Regional Communist Labor University. [4] On December 28, 1978, the State Council of the People's Republic of China approved the establishment of Yibin Normal College on the basis of Yibin Regional Communist Labor University. At that time, the campus was located in Baimiao Village, Maiba Township, Nanxi County (now Li Zhuang Town, Cuiping District, Yibin City), and three majors were approved. [5] In 1985, the school relocated to Jiangbei, Qiaoxi Bay, Yibin City (now Anfu Street, Cuiping District). [4] In 1993, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China approved the renaming of the school to Yibin Normal Higher Vocational College. [6] In May 2001, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China agreed to integrate the educational resources of Yibin Normal Higher Vocational College and the Yibin Branch of Sichuan Education College to establish Yibin College at the undergraduate level. [7]

With the completion and opening of the waterfront campus in the Sanjiang New Area University City, Yibin University has also begun to strive for the granting of master's degree awarding units and discuss upgrading to a university, in order to promote the development of science and technology innovation industries and educational undertakings in Yibin City. [8]

Campus Environment

In 1985, the People's Government of Sichuan Province agreed to relocate Yibin Normal Higher Vocational College to Qiexi Bay on the north bank of the Min River in Yibin City, and the construction of the campus began. In August 1987, Yibin Normal Higher Vocational College relocated from Lizhuang Town to the Jiangbei Campus in Qiexi Bay (now located at No. 8 Jiusheng Road, Anfu Street, Cuiping District), [5] which is divided into A and B areas. The A area also serves as the location of the college headquarters, while the B area is located at its southern end. The campus is situated in a mountainous terrain, with the elevation gradually increasing from the southern corner to the north. The campus boasts rich vegetation and a pleasant environment, with a modern architectural style. It has been awarded honors such as "Outstanding Unit in Campus Civilization Construction", "Advanced Sanitation Unit", "Garden-style Unit", and "Top 100 Greening Units in Sichuan Province". However, there is a lack of open space at key landscape nodes, which has to some extent affected the campus atmosphere. The college campus is served by external transportation routes such as Yibin Public Bus Route 22, providing convenient transportation for faculty and students to travel to various places. [9] [10] [11]

In addition to its main campus, Yibin University has also constructed a waterfront campus in the Sanjiang New Area University City. The first phase of construction was completed on December 31, 2019. Departments such as the Tea College, Intelligent Manufacturing College, Big Data and Software College, Quality Inspection College, and Transportation Service Engineering College have been relocated to the waterfront campus. The architectural style of the campus reflects a blend of Eastern and Western cultures. [12] This campus is adjacent to the Yibin Graduate School of Xihua University, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu College of Sichuan International Studies University, and Chengdu University of Technology among other higher education institutions in Yibin. It can be accessed via the Yibin Intelligent Rail T1 Line to travel between downtown Yibin and the Chengdu-Guizhou Intercity Bus Line Yibin West Station. [13] [14]
