Building on brownfield sites
The University prioritizes the redevelopment of previously used land to limit sprawl and environmental impact.
•Yangming Campus: Built on a former quarry, converting an extractive site into an academic landscape.
•Guangfu Campus: Redeveloped the ROC Army’s former Camp Weiwu (acquired 1978), with subsequent expansion (1981–1996) using parcels from Camp Jih-Hsin and leased lots in the Hsinchu Science Park—all previously developed sites.
When strategic needs require greenfield development, NYCU plans for compact, transit-connected hubs. Example: the Tainan Campus (2002, 100 ha allocation) now anchors the College of Artificial Intelligence, the Center for Academia–Industry Collaboration, and the Incubation R&D Park—concentrating research and industry partnership while minimizing future land take.
