Campus Greening and Beautification

Chihlee University of Technology, with the Banqiao Main Campus combining the Tamsui Second Campus, has a total area of 6.0257 hectares (Banqiao Main Campus: 5.3021 hectares; Tamsui Second Campus: 0.7236 hectares). The primary teaching and research activities take place at the Banqiao Main Campus, which is organized into two main areas: "Ecological Environment and Maintenance" and "Sustainable Architecture." The Tamsui Second Campus, surrounded on all sides by wooded slopes, is managed as a natural, self-sustaining ecosystem with no human intervention and serves as a site for exploration-based education. Across the campus, various plants, flowers, and artistically designed potted landscapes are cultivated in public spaces, with regular maintenance and replacement each year according to the overall needs of the campus environment. A diversity of planting strategies has been adopted to create and maintain a green, refreshing learning environment. Common wildlife on campus includes squirrels among the mammals, and birds such as magpies, Malayan night herons, sparrows, and doves. In addition to ground-level planting, the University also promotes vertical greening. Walking around campus, one can appreciate not only the lush trees but also the creative green facades that enhance the exterior walls of campus buildings.

Green Building

Upholding the principle of sustainable campus development, Chihlee University of Technology incorporated the concept of green building in the reconstruction of the Chengxin Hall. The overall design adheres to the value of education, practicality, safety, and diversity. It also highlights six green building indicators: daily energy conservation, carbon dioxide reduction, waste reduction, indoor environmental quality, water resource management, and sewage/garbage improvement. In April 2022, the building received a certificate of candidate qualification in green building. Chengxin Hall was classified as a building of mixed-use development combining office, educational space, together with other large-space uses. The project was completed in May 2023, and with the completion of the first-floor commercial arcade in 2024, the University has commenced the application process for the official Green Building Label. The application has been submitted and is currently under review by the relevant authorities.
