However, the former site of Sichuan Institute of Education is too narrow and adjacent to Ciqikou Town Street, so there is no room for development. So the Southwest Ministry of Culture and Education decided to open another venue opposite Chongqing University in Shapingba.
Since 195 1, five teaching buildings and nine dormitories have been built on the first 400 mu of land requisitioned. 1952, the adjustment of higher education departments in southwest China was decided by the Southwest Bureau of the Central Committee and the Southwest Military and Political Committee.
The former East Sichuan People's Administrative Office and the East Sichuan Party Committee located in Beibei are the campuses of Southwest Normal University, and it is required to move to Beibei when the departments are adjusted. "From 1952, 10, 10, Xi Shi officially started running schools in Beibei New Campus".
