Supporting the below United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:支持以下聯合國可持續發展目標：支持以下联合国可持续发展目标：
An innovative space is neither the decoration of a space nor simply a new, high-tech place. In addition to having a groundbreaking design that is refreshing, it can itself catalyze innovation of members who study, work, and live in it. An innovative space is not a luxury but can be acquired at very low costs - based on perfect literacy and correct judgment, using appropriate tools and resources, effective artistic expression, and social communication. Therefore, spaces can become a fundamental driving force in daily life. Most importantly, builders with the style of combining theory with practice, always look toward to future, which is a positive attitude. The innovation of space is the renewal of physical space firstly, and the innovation of education system. Let history indicate the future: how to build an innovative university campus in China? Catching sight of the large ones, beginning with the small ones - that is a way of thinking.
