The China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) has launched its new campus in Shenzhen’s Qianhai Free Trade Center, designed by Taigu Design. This campus combines innovative architecture with functionality, aiming to nurture globally minded and socially responsible business leaders.

Strategically located in the Ma Wan area, the campus integrates flexible shared spaces, dynamic architectural forms, and unique outdoor landscapes. Tan Kan, founder of Taigu Design, highlights Shenzhen’s youthful, open, and globally minded spirit as the inspiration behind creating a multi-dimensional teaching environment. This design features organic flow lines, open atriums filled with natural light, and interconnected spaces that promote collaboration and comfort.

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an open atrium with striking staircases like the "ring double" running ladder, the "conch" shaped road show ladder, and the "spring" rotating ladder. These elements, enhanced by dynamic curves and light, encourage exploration and engagement. The building's transparent curtain walls allow natural light to flood the functional spaces, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The second floor connects to the first via a "conch" shaped swing ladder, facilitating interaction between the semi-open café and surrounding areas. This café extends to an outdoor sunken square with a static water feature, enhancing the connection between people and their environment.

The design incorporates futuristic elements like an amphitheater and flat classroom, while minimalist corridors create calm, aesthetically pleasing spaces. The dining area is designed for openness and accessibility, with reflective ceilings and columns promoting harmony between humans and nature.

Balancing public and private spaces, the campus layout encourages social interaction and personal reflection, fostering knowledge sharing and the social dimensions of science. CEIBS Shenzhen Campus, through Taigu Design's thoughtful approach, sets a new standard for educational environments, merging innovation, functionality, and aesthetic beauty to support the development of future global business leaders.
