Eastern Institute for Advanced Study is an interior design project for the teaching buildings of a technology institute in Ningbo. The design covers 1.5 million square meters. Each building has a distinct character. The Engineering Building uses suspended steel wire mesh and wall mechanisms for an industrial feel. The School of Life Sciences integrates plants. The Information Building uses metallic materials and interactive installations. Flexible furniture and adaptable teaching areas support an open and collaborative learning environment.
