The foundation stone for the new building was laid in April 2014, and construction was completed in December 2017. Shanghai Jiao Tong University named the building “Long Bin Building” in honor of its alumnus John Wu and his wife Jane Sun in appreciation of their support to the development of JI. Covering a total area of 32,000 square meters, the Longbin Building is located at the junction of East Nan Yang Road and Lian Wu Road on the eastern Minhang campus. The building integrating the functions of teaching and learning, scientific research, administration and student activities, is bound to provide a space guarantee for the future development of JI.
The Long Bin Building will be officially put into use next month. The JI offices will be officially operational at the new building from May 14.
