校园空间优化计划

bet8九州登录入口 is pioneering a space model that revolutionizes the traditional approach to space allocation. This forward-thinking initiative entails a comprehensive reimagining of space function, 所有权, 以及整个校园社区的预算分配. The centerpiece of this new model involves a profound shift in how spaces are defined, introducing a taxonomy based on activities and room attributes, rather than rigidly predefined room types and access.

The model creates an open and transparent portfolio accessible to the broader campus community and decouples space investments from exclusive uses.
