When it comes to Hubei, people first think of Wuhan, which is the capital of Hubei and has the best economic development. But there are other prefecture-level cities in Hubei, such as Jingzhou. Jingzhou is the capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a long history of more than 3,000 years. Jingzhou is a famous historical and cultural city in China. There are many historical sites here, such as Jingzhou Ancient City Wall, Xiongjia and Guan Gong Temple. As a tourist city in China, many people come to Jingzhou every year.

Although Jingzhou has a long history, its economic development is not very good. As we all know, the economic development of a city has many factors. China has two words. One is to build roads before getting rich, and the other is to rejuvenate the country through science and education. Road construction can increase people's mobility, where there are people, there will be consumption, thus driving economic development. Strong scientific and educational ability can introduce and retain talents, promote the development of science and technology and stimulate economic growth. In fact, Jingzhou's scientific and educational ability is not very strong, so in order to improve its scientific and educational ability, Jingzhou began to build colleges and universities. Next, I would like to introduce a university to be built in Jingzhou.

This university is the new campus of Yangtze University. Yangtze University, located in Jingzhou City, is a "double first-class construction university" in Hubei Province. It is formed by the merger of four universities, with a total area of 4,742 mu and a construction area of 900,000 square meters. It is the largest provincial university in Hubei Province. Yangtze University has campuses in Jingzhou and Wuhan. Jingzhou Campus consists of East Campus and West Campus. The construction of the new campus is to expand on the south side of the east campus.

The new campus project of Yangtze University has a total investment of 2 billion yuan, and 560 mu of land will be added, of which the planned total construction area is about 300,000 square meters. New graphic information center, engineering experimental training center, teaching building, comprehensive gymnasium, Yangtze River Performing Arts Center, student dormitory, student canteen and supporting infrastructure projects will be built to enhance the image of the school. The new campus of Yangtze University will be built in stages. The first phase of the project is planned to start in the near future, followed by the second phase of a larger project.

The first phase of the new campus of Yangtze University is located in the south of Qujiang Road and east of Fengtai Road, with an investment of about 2120,000 yuan. Two new student dormitories will be built, with a construction area of about 42,000 square meters. The newly-built 1 student canteen, with a construction area of about 7,800 square meters, is equipped with a canteen for everyone, a flavor restaurant and a multi-function hall. A 400-meter standard track and field stadium will be built, including stands, indoor runways and sports equipment rooms. Four outdoor basketball courts and six volleyball courts will be built. The first phase of the project is expected to start construction in June+10 this year.

The construction of the new campus of Yangtze University will improve the school-running conditions and teaching environment of Yangtze University, have a certain impact on the development of the school and promote its better development. At the same time, the construction of the new campus will promote the development of regional business districts along the route, promote the economic development of Jingzhou and enhance the image of Jingzhou city. So are you looking forward to the construction of the new campus of Yangtze University?
