Song Botong, Director of the Infrastructure Department of SZU, introduced the general situation of the project. The total construction area of the building is 128,694 square meters, and the total investment of the project is 1.1054 billion yuan. It consists of 4 theaters with different sizes, dance classrooms, piano rooms, art classrooms, recording classrooms, offices and a large underground parking lot. This is by far the most complex and high-standard construction project with the biggest underground parking space in Houhai Campus. After the construction of the project, it will not only effectively increase the teaching and office space for major disciplines such as music, art and dance, but it will also become a place for Shenzhen citizens to take part in and appreciate performances.
Zhang Jian said the project will not only become an art treasure of construction on campus, but also of the construction process, and will make important contributions to related research at Shenzhen University. The project poses great challenges because of the complicated construction, irregular structure, and various design styles. Therefore, only with careful planning, meticulous organization and civilized construction by the construction unit, and the timely supervision by the supervision unit as well as the joint efforts of all parties can the project be completed on schedule.
On behalf of the SOGAR Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., Pan Duozhong said they were aware of their responsibility and were deeply honored to be the engineering consulting unit during the whole process. In the next three years, they will do their utmost and aim to gain great accomplishment in completing this glorious and arduous task.
Zhou Jinwen introduced a series of major engineering projects undertaken by Shenzhen Geological Bureau and its subordinate Shenzhen Geological Construction Engineering Company in recent years. He said that following their involvement in the construction of Xili Campus, now the Company is engaged in the construction of the Performing Arts Multiple-Purpose Building in SZU. They will definitely form an excellent construction team that guarantees both quality and quantity, and will complete the construction task as scheduled. The Shenzhen Geological Bureau and Shenzhen University will work closely together in the fields of urban geology, underground space research, and intellectual city construction, and collaborate in achieving Shenzhen’s goal of becoming one of China’s four top cities.

At the end of the ceremony, Liu Hongyi announced the official start of the Shenzhen University Performing Arts Multiple-Purpose Construction Project.
