226. It’S Unbelievable That It Costs 100 Billion To Build A Campus?
As someone from an architectural design institute, everyone present knows how awesome Apple’s new headquarters is.
It’s every designer’s dream and every architect’s nightmare.
Apple's new headquarters takes obsessive-compulsive disorder and the pursuit of perfection to the extreme. The pursuit of quality is almost crazy.
First of all, it is reflected in the exquisiteness of basic materials. When building Apple Park, they traveled almost all over the world in search of suitable materials.
The entire circular exterior wall uses the world’s largest single piece of curved glass. The glass comes from Sedak, a long-term partner of Apple. The entire building requires the use of 3,100 such individual pieces of glass, the heaviest of which weighs 3 tons.
The dimensional accuracy of the glass is within 1/32 inch. The glass itself increases the difficulty of construction, but Apple also requires that no vents or pipes be reflected on the glass to affect the look and feel. For the construction company, this is "zero four three", which is really crazy.
The custom-made oversized desk in white oak is made by a century-old design company in Tulip. 5.5 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, each desktop takes 10 months from material selection to production.
The wood used for the office walls was cut down in the winter. The most ideal time is January, because the wood at that time contains the lowest sap and sugar content.
The shiny ceiling, cast from concrete, must be spotless inside and out, as dust-proof as the headphone jack on your iPhone.
Just the design of the door handle alone took Apple a year and a half to rework. Apple requires that the door handle cannot be connected with screws, but must be integrated into the door frame, and it must feel like an aluminum alloy like the Mac Pro.
The new campus designed by Han Yue for Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College is even more perfect and crazy than Apple's new headquarters.
Apple's new headquarters is a huge circle, like a huge alien spacecraft.
The main teaching building designed by Han Yue for Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College integrates the traditional concept of Long Kingdom’s round sky and square place, plus the combination of tradition and modernity.
It doesn't look as flashy and shiny as Apple's new headquarters, but it's still a crazy building.
The architects in these design institutes were confused.
"It's just a teaching building, is it necessary?"
"Isn't this too exaggerated? A teaching building in an ordinary school only costs tens of millions, or at most a few hundred million. The main teaching building initially designed by your school probably costs tens of billions!"
Huang Changming, chief designer of East China Design Institute, took another look at the sketch drawn by Han Yue.
Whether it is the main teaching building, the laboratory building, the dormitory building, or even the playground, they are all equipped with top-notch equipment.
"Why are so many experimental buildings built?" an architect asked curiously.
In general universities, no matter how much they value experiments and scientific research, they will not have more experimental buildings than teaching buildings.
However, the new campus of Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College designed by Han Yue has only one teaching building, the main teaching building.
But there are dozens of experimental buildings.
There is only one teaching building, mainly because the teaching building designed by Han Yue is too big.
It is estimated that it can accommodate hundreds of classes at the same time, with more than 10,000 students taking classes at the same time. For a comprehensive university with 40,000 to 50,000 people, such a teaching building is enough.
But Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College now has only four to five thousand people.
This teaching building is obviously too big.
After all, super large comprehensive universities such as Wuhan University, Zhejiang University, and Jilin University do not have only one teaching building despite their large number of students.
Of course, there are too many experimental buildings.
How can a university use up so many experimental buildings?
"That's because we need to build dozens of national key laboratories. It is best for these laboratories to be isolated from each other." Lin Beibei said.
"Then what is this?" An architect from Beicheng Design Institute pointed to an unnamed building.
The requirements for this building are outrageous.
It requires digging 30 meters underground, then covering it with one-meter-thick lead sheets, and three layers of two-meter-thick ferroaluminate cement containment.
With this level of protective measures, wouldn't it be necessary to build a nuclear reactor?
In particular, several architects from Longguo Architectural Design Institute have participated in the design of nuclear power plant buildings.
At first glance, you can tell that this building is extraordinary.
In fact, the protection of controllable nuclear fusion does not need to be so strict.
The radiation produced by controllable nuclear fusion is almost negligible compared with the nuclear fission used in current nuclear power plants.
Moreover, the controllable nuclear fusion device designed by Han Yue is also very safe, with almost no problems.
But Han Yue decided to put all the safety measures in place.
After all, it is built inside the school, so students should feel more at ease.
"Because we want to build a controllable nuclear fusion device here." Lin Beibei said.
The scene fell into silence again.
The school campus needs to build the world's number one supercomputer, a main teaching building that is more powerful than Apple's headquarters, a top-notch stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people, and now it also needs to build a controllable nuclear fusion device...
The specifications of this campus are simply unheard of and unseen...
These senior architects on site were convinced.
If this campus is really completed, it will become one of the most awesome campuses in the world.
However, it is too difficult to build such a campus.
Several senior architects looked at each other and looked at each other. As senior people, they can probably estimate the total cost of this campus.
A supercomputer costs at least 2 billion or more.
This main teaching building, which is more impressive than Apple's headquarters, is worth at least 30 billion.
There are no controllable nuclear fusion devices.
Others, such as a 60,000-person stadium, luxury dormitories, etc., are basically negligible compared with these.
The construction of such a campus is conservatively estimated to cost more than 100 billion!
Spend 100 billion to build a school campus, and this school is still a junior college.
If they hadn't known that it was designed by Han Yue, these architects would have thought that Party A was really crazy!
They also know that if such a campus is built, the design institute as the designer will definitely leave its name in the history of architecture.
But...can such a campus really be built?
As architectural designers, they have seen too many projects that look great on paper, but in the end end up being useless.
Without him, there is only one reason: the capital chain is broken!
Such a new campus costing 100 billion is indeed too incredible.
Even if they know that Han Yue has many awesome technological achievements.
However, Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College's 4.5-level capital chain is indeed very worrying.
Lin Beibei seemed to see their worries.
Smile slightly.
The tyrannical side of the real estate devil was revealed.
"You don't have to worry about money. Even if all the companies in the world have their capital chains broken, our Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College will not! You can rest assured about the design. As long as we can implement the design ideas of Principal Han Yue, we will pay for the design." Buy at the highest market price!”
Lin Beibei is full of confidence in her boyfriend...no, her principal.
A man who can earn 6 billion a night still needs to worry about his financial chain being broken?
At this moment, Lin Hongzhe, the principal of the family area of Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College, sneezed.
"What's going on? Who is talking about me behind my back again?"
Poor Principal Lin didn't know at this time that in the heart of his daughter, the position of principal was no longer his. .
