China's Most Sustainable Campus: The Duke Kunshan University’s Phase II Campus

The second phase of Duke Kunshan University’s campus exemplifies a seamless connection between an academic culture and campus design. This 153,182.5 sqm newly constructed development, pays homage to both the cultural heritage of Kunshan and the academic spirit of Duke University. The layout develops the connections to the first phase and embodies aspirations for the future development. The new buildings are clothed in a contemporary architectural language of stone and glass, that evokes a human scale. The expansive spatial environment serves as a tangible declaration of the school's educational mission, emphasizing a balance of freedom and rigor in academic pursuits, while fostering an inclusive and open community. The project also exemplifies the principles of a green and healthy environment into all facets of campus life, marking this as one of China's most prominent LEED-certified campus.
