Campus
UWC Changshu China’s campus has been designed by Mo Atelier Szeto, one of China’s premier architectural design companies.
Our vision is for the campus to become a sustainable village dedicated to the fostering of peace and international understanding.
Changshu is located in the Yangtze Delta and blessed by a mild climate. The yearly abundance of its harvests is what gave Changshu City its name – ‘changshu’ (常熟) a reference to the perennial ripeness of its produce.
This 3,000-year-old city has been recognized nationally for its rich cultural heritage. It also boasts a mountain, seven rivers and three lakes, and UWC Changshu China is fortunate to be located on the banks of the largest, Kuncheng Lake (昆承湖).
Changshu is part of metropolitan Suzhou, a city known the world over for its ancient Chinese gardens and river canals. It is often referred to as the Venice of China.
