School-region collaboration has made new progress in building the Western (Chongqing) Science City! On December 31, the construction of the Chongqing University Science Center in the Western (Chongqing) Science City officially started.
It is understood that the Chongqing University Science Center in the Western (Chongqing) Science City is located at the Huxi Campus of Chongqing University, with a total investment of approximately 1.5 billion yuan, an area of approximately 172 acres, and a construction area of approximately 247,700 square meters. The project gives full play to the characteristics and comprehensive advantages of Chongqing University's engineering disciplines, achieves organized innovation transformation, and builds it into a large-scale, integrated and comprehensive highland of science and technology innovation in the western region and a comprehensive demonstration area for the reform of the science and technology system in universities. The
"project is enclosed by an inner and outer ring-shaped buildings. The inner ring is composed of 3-story large space continuous laboratories, and the outer ring is enclosed by 10 towers. The maximum building number of the towers is 10 floors, the maximum building height is 47.70 meters, and the total number of parking spaces is 1,900. The above-ground buildings contain scientific There are nine functional sections: communication, advanced manufacturing, smart energy, low-carbon technology, advanced materials, electronic devices, cutting-edge intersection, artificial intelligence , and public platform. The underground building functions include underground garages, equipment rooms, canteens, cafes, gyms, etc.,” said the relevant person in charge of the Science City.
It is reported that the project started this time is the Huxi Construction Project (First Bid Section), a major scientific infrastructure in the Western (Chongqing) Science City - Chongqing University Huxi Science Center Experimental Building EPC Project. The project takes the existing national platform as the core and uses sectoral construction as the carrier to promote the integration and optimization of similar disciplines and fields, and build nine innovative main boards of advanced manufacturing, smart energy, low-carbon technology, advanced materials, electronic devices, artificial intelligence, cutting-edge intersection, public platform, and scientific communication, and form an innovative environment for cross-collaboration. It will become a high-end experimental research highland that leads and supports basic research and innovative development in Chongqing and the western region of the country, a high-end research talent gathering and high-quality talent training highland, and a source of basic cutting-edge research and major scientific and technological needs.
Currently, the Western (Chongqing) Science City has implemented 44 school-region cooperation projects, and 31 projects are currently in operation. As of December 2022, 323 R&D platforms at the municipal level or above have been built in the core area of the Science City, bringing together more than 1,500 academicians, experts, scholars and R&D personnel such as Bian Xiuwu, and nurturing 1,500 technology-based enterprises. Driven by the demonstration of campus and campus projects, Science City is moving towards the goal of building a core area of scientific and technological innovation center with national influence.
