The Library and Information Center of Jiaxing University is situated at the heart of the Lianglin Campus, where the east-west axis intersects with the main landscape corridor. Integrating a library, archives, university history exhibition, and an IT center, its design pays homage to classical book pavilions and the enduring Red Boat Spirit, featuring layered terraces and cantilevered eaves that embody the elegance of Jiangnan and the local cultural spirit. As a cultural nexus, it strengthens campus connectivity and underpins the university’s pursuit of excellence and development.
