Time:2025-05-12

On May 12, a delegation from the Xiong’an Campus Construction Command of the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) visited the Zhangjiang Advanced Research Institute for an in-depth exchange and thematic research on the construction of laboratories and scientific research platforms. The visit aimed to systematically understand Zhangjiang’s concepts and experience in laboratory construction, operation management, and overall planning, thereby promoting the high-quality development of USTB’s Xiong’an Campus project.

The research group was led by Jin Rendong, Chief Commander of the project, accompanied by Deputy Commander Su Dong, Chief Engineer Feng Jianming, Minister of Engineering Construction Management Qiu Anbing, Deputy Minister of Cost Management Zhang Pengfei, and Deputy Minister of Planning and Design Management Wang Jian, among nine delegates in total. Deputy Director of Infrastructure Mei Jian and Vice President of Zhangjiang Institute Zhao Degang hosted the visit.

On-site Visit and Communication to Support Project Implementation

The visit began with a tour of the Zhangjiang Institute's exhibition hall, where the delegation gained a comprehensive understanding of the institute’s history, development positioning, and spatial layout. Zhao Degang gave a detailed overview of the institute’s construction process, scientific research facilities, and the innovative model of localized management.

  

The delegation focused on several laboratories within the campus, learning about coordinated design during the early stages of construction, system integration, functional adaptation, and operational adjustments. The atmosphere was active, with frequent and lively exchanges on site.

  

In-depth Discussion to Explore Laboratory Construction

In the subsequent discussion session, both sides delved into key topics regarding laboratory construction, including infrastructure project management strategies, overall planning philosophy, flexible design, energy consumption control, material selection, safety facilities configuration, spatial scale, and ventilation design. Mei Jian and Zhao Degang shared systematic insights on common issues and practical experience in early planning and construction. Li Chenyun, Wang Quanlong, and Wu Yao responded in detail to technical questions from the USTB team, aiming to translate the exchange outcomes into feasible solutions to enhance planning and implementation efficiency.

Joint Development and Shared Wisdom

The exchange not only strengthened communication between the two parties in laboratory planning and research platform development, but also laid a foundation for deeper cooperation in university infrastructure construction and high-level scientific research space creation. Both sides agreed that in the face of new standards and requirements in scientific platform construction, continuous learning and collaboration among universities will help enhance the overall foundation of higher education in China.

Zhangjiang Institute will continue to uphold the values of openness, cooperation, and collaborative development, actively sharing its experience in planning and managing scientific facilities. It aims to provide replicable construction solutions and practical knowledge for peer institutions, jointly supporting national strategic needs and regional scientific innovation.
