A new exploration of the teaching and learning model
This renovation transcends a mere upgrade of campus infrastructure; it represents an active exploration of innovative teaching and learning models. The new buildings prioritize the requirements of interactive and integrated classes, equipped with a full suite of diverse teaching facilities. While retaining traditional chalkboards, electronic blackboards with practical teaching aids have been introduced, injecting fresh vitality into the development of intelligent campus.

Lectern-free classrooms boost efficiency!
The new classrooms adopt a lectern-free design, breaking from traditional setups. Freed from bulky lecterns, teachers can move freely among students, fostering closer interactions and immersive learning experiences. The oral presentation format also makes classroom environment more international.
Brand new lectern-free classroom design
With stunning Makeover and intelligent upgrades, the revitalized Building CI and Building CII now radiate a more open and innovative atmosphere, reflecting Tsinghua SIGS’ commitment to building an intelligent campus and continuously deepening educational reforms.
We expect SIGSers to embrace the joy of diverse learning in these new spaces, explore and strive for excellence. In the new semester, the new Building C is waiting for you!
