New Jiangwan Second Affiliated School of Fudan University

The Fudan University Xinjiangwan Second Affiliated School project is located in northern Xinjiangwan, Shanghai. It is a 72-class, nine-year integrated primary and secondary school. The site is bordered by the urban main road Songhu Road to the east, Suifenhe Road to the north, Hengxue Road to the west, and the Fudan University Xinjiangwan campus to the south. The land area is 38,393 square meters, with a total building area of 49,800 square meters, constructed using precast concrete structural systems and rated as a two-star green building. Design challenges: how to properly resolve the contradiction between a relatively small site and limited budget on one hand and high-quality educational facility requirements on the other, and how to rationally arrange building volumes with different functions; how to break the stereotypical row-and-column layout of primary and secondary schools and create more vibrant open spaces. Intensive development: the campus is divided east-west into sports and teaching zones to reduce noise from Songhu Road on the east and facilitate connection to west-side city roads. North-south, the buildings are divided into primary and secondary school sections, connected through the central comprehensive section containing administration and public laboratories. The school has high requirements for the quantity and quality of educational facilities, including a 500-seat theater, 300-seat lecture hall, and multi-purpose classrooms. The project by TJAD creates a compact, efficient school that maximizes open space within a constrained urban site.
