Appreciation towards HENN for providing the following description:

自1978年起，中国向世界敞开大门已有40年的时间。如今，中国的教育系统又将迎来一个新的里程碑。其中，西湖大学的成立便是一个最具标志性的例子。西湖大学是中国第一所研究型私立大学，其目标是打造一座与其他世界级大学比肩齐名的前沿机构。学校的创办委员会由七位著名科学家组成。其中，国际知名生物学家施一公教授将担任校长。2017年7月，HENN在西湖大学校园国际设计竞赛中取得优胜。

40 years after China opened itself up to the world in 1978, the Chinese education system is reaching a new milestone, symbolized with the founding of the Westlake University. China’s first private research university is aiming to establish itself as a cutting edge institution equal to rival other well world-class universities. The founding committee is made up of seven prestigious scientists one of which Prof. Shi Yigong, one of the world’s leading biologists and the future dean of the school. HENN was chosen the winner of an international design competition of Westlake University in July 2017.

作为跨学科的研究型大学，西湖大学鼓励不同领域之间的合作与交流，这在HENN的规划和建筑设计方案中也得到了清晰的体现。整个校园将坐落在一座圆岛上，其中，位于中央的4座研究所大楼将成为校园的核心：生物学、医学、自然科学和工程学研究所将围绕着直径为300米的环形“学术圈”分布，形成相互贯通和协作的空间，在连接其他独立部门的同时，还将公园与中央学术学术大厅包围在内。此外，研究所与周围的辅助设施还将通过12座桥梁相连。这些设施包括食堂、图书馆、博物馆、宿舍、体育场以及会议酒店等。

The campus represents an exchange university for interdisciplinary studies, encouraging cooperation and communication between different research fields. This feature is clearly reflected through the master plan and building designs. The campus is characterized by the central institute buildings, which form the core of the campus on a circular island. The four research institutes for biology, medicine, natural sciences and engineering are all arranged around the Academic Loop, offering a joint communication and collaboration space. With a diameter of 300 meters, the curved central building connects the individual departments and embraces the inner campus park with the central academic hall. 12 bridges connect the Institute Island to the surrounding supporting areas comprising canteens, a library, a museum, residential and sports facilities as well as a conference hotel.
