HKUST is an iconic, innovative campus that combines the university’s programmatic aspirations with the site’s natural beauty and urban context, all the while targeting carbon neutrality and zero water waste.Located in Nansha, Guangzhou, the master plan will materialize over two phases to accommodate more than 10,000 students and faculty and a full range of university facilities: spaces for housing, teaching and research, athletics, performing arts, and amenities. These specialized facilities converge around a dynamic, central space to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and engender a strong community. HKUST Guangzhou provides an inspirational environment for students, faculty, and staff to live, work, and study, establishing a world-leading standard in higher education for future generations and campuses across China.

校园采用堪称典范的可持续性和弹性措施，适应社会的快速发展的沿海地区和世界上将见证一些最大气候变化影响的地区。三条运河将环绕三角洲并执行其“零水浪费”目标，收集和过滤雨水以供再利用，并通过防洪和湿地保护促进恢复力。主要的室外协作区域和建筑物本身都结合了主动和被动热舒适策略，以保证居住者在场地潮湿的微气候中的健康和享受。在运河边界内，校园将无排放，其中智能电动交通网络将支持所有资源和人员的运输。

The campus features exemplary sustainability and resiliency measures, attuned to the site within the rapidly developing, coastal region of mainland world and an area of the world that will witness some of the greatest climate change impact. Three canals will embrace the delta and enforce its “zero water waste” goal, collecting and filtering rainwater for reuse and promoting resiliency through flooding and wetland protection. Both the main outdoor collaboration areas and the buildings themselves incorporate a combination of active and passive thermal comfort strategies to guarantee the well-being and enjoyment of occupants within the humid micro-climate of the site. Within the canals’ borders, the campus will be free of emissions, in which a smart electric mobility network will support all transportation of resources and people.
