Architectural design

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.
