Huawei completes US$1.4 billion campus in Shanghai ‘with 100 cafes’ to lure foreign talent
- Huawei’s new Shanghai campus will serve as the company’s global research and development hub
Located in Jinze, a town in Shanghai’s Qingpu district, Huawei gave its new campus the name Lianqiu Lake R&D Centre last Tuesday, according to an announcement on the municipal government’s website that cited official media Jiefang Daily.
The campus comprises eight blocks and 104 buildings – making up a complex of laboratories, offices and leisure areas – connected via an internal railway system. While some bridge construction and greening projects are still being finalised, the development of signage, district roads and train service for the Lianqiu Lake campus had been completed, the Jiefang Daily reported last Thursday.
Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
Covering an area of 160 hectares, Huawei’s Lianqiu Lake campus will serve as its global R&D hub and start operations this year, according to previous announcements by the local government.
