HKUST (Guangzhou)

In order to foster true and meaningful collaboration between the two campuses, the 1.1-sq-km Guangzhou campus is conveniently located in Nansha, south of Guangzhou and adjacent to the Qingsheng station on the high-speed Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. It takes just 30 minutes to travel there from the Hong Kong West Kowloon railway station. Designed by internationally renowned architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) as an inspirational “smart green campus”, HKUST(GZ) will align with both the style of the Clear Water Bay campus and the natural features of its own environment. Combining institutional form, function, and aspiration with sustainability and organic beauty, it memorably heralds the university of the future, setting a new standard for higher education.
