Ding Yue directly discussed this matter with Xiong Yang.
This situation cannot be blamed on Xiong Yang. At that time, Ding Yue just thought that the library square was spacious enough, making it perfect for the 2021 freshmen to undergo military training. However, he forgot that the training would disturb the students studying in the Book Ship Library.
"Okay, okay. It’s my mistake for not considering such an important factor when planning. Principal Ding, I’ll arrange to move the freshmen from the library square to Xingchuan Road for military training, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Yang immediately realized that this was a very serious issue and, to be precise, it was a mistake on his part.
"Fine, split them between Xingchuan Road and the stadium area, that should work." Ding Yue nodded and agreed.
The proposal made by Qi Chunsheng earlier was to move some to the area around the stadium and some to Xingchuan Road.
"Alright, I’ll get on it right away." After saying this, Xiong Yang got up, ready to personally deliver the notification.
"No need, you can simply send the message, we have other matters here that need your attention." Ding Yue shook his head.
Xiong Yang, the head of the Physical Education Department, had the right attitude. He didn’t need to personally handle the notifications. Later, a discussion about the planning arrangement for expanding the sports facilities of the new campus would require the opinion of the Physical Education Department.
"Alright then, I’ll inform them immediately." Xiong Yang quickly nodded, took out his cell phone, and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window in the principal’s office to call his department and ask them to contact the military training instructors in the square in front of the library and move the trainees to Xingchuan Road and the sports stadium to conduct their training.
While Xiong Yang was on the phone, Ding Yue addressed Director Chen Ping of the Architecture Department, saying: "Director Chen Ping, considering the large number of new students enrolled this year, it seems we need to advance the expansion project of our new campus."
"Principal Ding, should we still work with Tianfu Construction Group? As for the architectural design of the school, our architecture students have been working hard over the past year, I think they should be capable of taking on major responsibilities now."
Chen Ping advocated for more opportunities for the architecture students.
After all, last year, only Liu Chuanjie and his peers had the opportunity to design the Book Ship Library, which was then approved and used by the university. The library has now been completed and has become the first real landmark building of Mist City Arts and Science University!
The architecture department has a large number of students, and this year the number of freshman architecture students is even larger, already exceeding a thousand people.
Therefore, Chen Ping believed that the Architecture Department needed more opportunities.
"Director Chen, I have a lot of faith in the capabilities of our Architecture students. They should indeed be involved in the future expansion plans of the university."
Ding Yue nodded and then pondered before asking: "Director Chen, how many of our architecture students are capable of undertaking architectural design work?"
"Apart from Liu Chuanjie and his peers, we actually have quite a few." Chen Ping answered: "However, because the students have only studied for one school year, obtaining many credentials is still a challenge."
"Surely, obtaining the first- or second-class architect certificates requires work experience." Ding Yue showed understanding.
However, Ding Yue did not demand the students of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Architecture Department to obtain the first- or second-class architect credentials. He thought that the upcoming expansion project should collaborate with Tianfu Construction Group and try to involve the students of Misty City Arts and Science University’s Architecture Department. Doing so, architecture students can accumulate work experience.
"Then Principal Ding, should I call Liu Chuanjie and the others?" Chen Ping immediately asked.
"Okay, invite all the students who participated in the library building design last time, and all those who have performed exceptionally in this area throughout the year. Have them wait for me in Conference Room 3."
