1.Since 2009, NTHU has annually applied to the Ministry of Education for projects to improve campus accessibility. Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance the ability of students with mobility impairments to adapt to campus life and learning, eliminating both tangible and intangible barriers. Our goal is to enable students with mobility difficulties to learn alongside their peers in an environment with minimal restrictions and to allow teachers, parents, and community members with mobility impairments to move freely on campus.
2.The NTHU campus is vast and adjacent to the 18 Peaks Mountain. The campus features areas such as Chenggong Lake and Xiangsi Lake, which contribute to a rich ecological environment that nurtures diverse wildlife. This provides an excellent recreational space for faculty, staff, and nearby community residents. Various campus landscapes, public art installations, and gardens are popular attractions for the general public.
3.In 2023, in conjunction with the Hsinchu City Government's public green environment integration plan along Guangfu Road, portions of the surrounding wall were removed, and the wall heights around the square were lowered. This opened up the two major green spaces and three large plazas, creating a public façade along Guangfu Road and welcoming visitors with green environments and micro-topographies as they enter Hsinchu.
4.In collaboration with the Ministry of Environment's 2023 net-zero green living transformation technology demonstration plan, NTHU has planned and established areas on campus where night-glow eco-friendly materials can be used for murals that absorb and extend light, compensating for inadequate nighttime illumination. This not only raises environmental awareness but also enhances safety for nighttime passage.
5.Unlike urban universities, our campus contains many undeveloped ecological landscape areas. Therefore, we emphasize the review and adjustment of safety corridors, protection for low-light areas (quiet areas at night), and safety features on rooftops.
6.The improvement project for Chenggong Lake and its surrounding environment was completed and opened in 2023. After removing the accumulated sludge from the lakebed, we implemented a comprehensive filtration approach, utilizing physical, biochemical, biological, and plant filtration methods to eliminate pollutants in the water. We also introduced diverse plantings and aquatic plants to create varied biological habitats, improve and purify water quality, enable water recycling, and foster a sustainable ecological environment that promotes biodiversity and high-quality waterfronts.
7.All campus buildings constructed after 2000 have been certified to meet green building standards. From the planning stage, the design and development were based on these standards. This means that when constructing various buildings on campus, the school has paid special attention to environmentally friendly design concepts with the aim of reducing resource waste and environmental impact during construction. Sustainable development principles have been adopted throughout the design, construction, and operation processes to ensure that the buildings meet locally recognized green building standards in terms of energy consumption, water resource utilization, waste management, and the health and comfort of users.
