In the Bilibili live broadcast room of Wang Bingbing, when netizens saw the architecture in the camera, the comments exploded instantaneously.
"Holy shit, there’s actually a set of traditional-style buildings over there?"
"These traditional-style buildings look good."
"Little bridges and flowing water, and is that one built in imitation of the Yellow Crane Tower?"
"It seems to be a bit bigger than the Yellow Crane Tower."
"Look over there, there’s an ancient city wall, and ancient city gates. Is this a film and TV city?"
"Wow, the architecture of Mist City Arts and Science University is simply too surprising."
"This place is good, I predict that it will become a hotspot for internet celebrities."
"Guys, let’s swipe the screen with likes!"
Everyone saw that not far ahead was a cluster of traditional-style buildings, it was hard to say how expansive it was, but there were quite a number of them.
One of them was quite tall, probably around seven floors, and there were various other traditional-style buildings like city walls, watch towers, and city gates.
Ding Yue’s gaze was attracted to this group of traditional-style buildings.
"Principal Ding, that tallest one, that is the Archive Library designed by the student Zhao Chi that you originally chose."
The head of the Architecture department, Director Chen Ping, hurriedly gave Principal Ding an introduction.
As soon as he heard the three words Archive Library, Ding Yue immediately remembered.
This goes back to when they originally designed the Bookship Library, when Liu Chuanjie and others designed the modern and futuristic Bookship Library. Ding Yue adopted and constructed the current viral hotspot library.
At that time, another group, which included Zhao Chi, had designed a traditional-style library named Archive.
At that time, Ding Yue also really liked this Archive, but at that time they only chose one library to construct.
So Ding Yue eventually still chose the Bookship Library.
Mist City Arts and Science University carried out large-scale expansion on its 5000-acre campus, because they were considering that the number of future students would exceed 100,000 people.
The old library, plus the Bookship Library; these two libraries were still not enough to satisfy the students’ learning needs.
Therefore, Ding Yue approved the plan for the third library of Mist City Arts and Science University.
Because there were already several good library designs from before, the third library was unanimously decided upon by the school leaders’ negotiations. The third library of Mist City Arts and Science University adopted the traditional-style building designed by the student Zhao Chi – Archive!
"I remember now, it was me who decided on this design of the Archive Library."
Ding Yue nodded, and turned to Wang Bingbing beside him, "Reporter Bingbing, this building here is the third library that our Mist City Arts and Science University constructed."
Wang Bingbing asked in surprise.
She had thought that all these traditional-style buildings constructed here were just for the scenery.
After all, a lot of traditional-style buildings in tourist areas nowadays, all touted some ancient names, whereas the buildings were newly constructed.
"Yes, it’s a library. The number of students at our Mist City Arts and Science University is very high. After this year’s enrollment, we predict the number of students to exceed seventy thousand. So even the old library and the Bookship Library combined might not be enough."
Ding Yue patiently explained.
"So that’s how it is. But this building doesn’t seem to have as large an area as the Bookship Library?" Since arriving at Mist City Arts and Science University, the first building Wang Bingbing went to see was the Bookship Library.
After all, the Bookship Library was extremely popular online. This was Bingbing’s first visit, so naturally she had to check in.
However, this library built in the traditional style does not seem as expansive as the Bookship Library.
"Yes, the area occupied by the Archive is actually less than half of that of the Bookship Library, but the number of students that the Archive can accommodate is not less than that of the Bookship Library, because, you see, the Archive has seven floors in total."
The head of the Architecture department, Director Chen Ping, hurriedly explained.
"Seven floors, so can the entire Archive also accommodate nearly ten thousand students, like the Bookship Library?"
After hearing this, Ding Yue looked at Director Chen Ping and asked.
"Yes, Principal Ding, although the area of each floor gradually decreases, the first, second, and third floors actually have quite a lot of capacity."
Director Chen Ping nodded.
"When can the books be transported over?" Ding Yue casually asked about the Archive Library again.
At present, the basic facilities in the Archive Library have been completed, leaving only logistics and the academic affairs office to transport the books. Then, in September, it can successfully open to all the students of Mist City Arts and Science University.
"They should be in place by July." Director Chen Ping answered.
As for every building in the expansion area of Mist City Arts and Science University, Director Chen Ping couldn’t be clearer about them.
That’s because, in the past year, the expansion project of Mist City Arts and Science University was overseen by Director Chen Ping.
Now that he was able to complete the campus expansion so successfully, Director Chen Ping’s contribution was indispensable.
Ding Yue thought for a moment, he needed to give Director Chen Ping a raise and some bonuses and such. Anyone who is dedicated and hardworking in building and developing Mist City Arts and Science University should get bountiful rewards.
After all, Ding Yue is not a stingy person.
