Wearing light clothes to go to the morning class, eating ice cream and watching the snow scenery, what black technology makes this university popular?

I heard that Harbin Institute of Technology has renovated its own boarding gate? A few days ago, a heavy snowstorm in Northeast China made this university a hot topic. However, the relevant topic was not "it's hard to walk in the ice and snow", but...

Netizen: The entire "Bengbu" is housed here. Is this a school or an airport?

Is going to class like boarding a plane? This university built a warm corridor that is "not afraid of snow"

In the video released by the official platform of Harbin Institute of Technology, students wearing short sleeves and eating ice cream walked leisurely in the warm corridor, which can reach the classroom, library, canteen, apartment and gymnasium in 5 minutes, while it was still snowing heavily outside. Behind this spectacle is the construction of the warm corridor of Harbin Institute of Technology campus.

According to reports, the campus space warm corridor system is a campus service facility that integrates corridors, warm corridors, student activity spaces, cultural displays, and overhead cable channels. It will connect various campus buildings such as dormitories, apartments, teaching buildings, canteens, libraries, cultural and sports buildings, and some waiting spaces. It can effectively alleviate the impact of extreme weather on campus life and become a new landmark of campus culture.

The corridor is also equipped with power supply, network interface, wireless WLAN and other equipment, providing more convenience for students.

In order to effectively alleviate the impact of extreme weather on campus life and improve the convenience of campus life for teachers and students, the school began to plan and build campus warm corridors in 2022. The length of the first, second and third phases of the campus warm corridors is 1,330.13 meters in total. So far, 881.81 meters have been opened to traffic. In the future, the function of the corridor layer will be further expanded. According to different needs, different types of warm corridors such as learning, transportation, fitness, and display will be created to maximize the functional effectiveness of the corridors.

What is the charm of the humanized facility “Warm Corridor”?

The construction of warm corridors is a comprehensive use function that makes efficiency, convenience and humanization a reality. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, because the Yanqing Winter Olympic Village is located in the northern mountainous area, with an altitude of more than 900 meters and a temperature 5 to 10 degrees Celsius lower than the urban area, a warm corridor was designed and built based on comprehensive factors to connect all the groups in the village, so that residents can reach all residential and public groups in the village without leaving their homes.

Located at an altitude of more than 4,700 meters, the primary school in Jiaqiong Town, Bange County, Nagqu City, Tibet, built a "warm corridor" project in 2016 due to its extremely cold location and harsh climatic conditions. It is mainly divided into "book-scented warm corridor" and "warm and cozy warm corridor". The "book-scented warm corridor" covers an area of ​​880 square meters and has classrooms, offices, party building rooms, conference rooms, sports equipment rooms, calligraphy rooms and electronic classrooms. The "warm and cozy warm corridor" covers an area of ​​1,020 square meters and includes dormitories, bathhouses, laundry rooms, barber shops and medical clinics. Today, the warm corridor guarantees the temperature all year round, and students can wear skirts and short sleeves, sing and dance like children in low-altitude areas.

The glass warm corridor added in the form of a "Siheyuan" has the functions of lighting, heating, wind protection, rain and snow protection, and warmth retention. It also serves a function similar to a "wind and rain playground", forming a unique local architectural landscape.

It was freezing outside, but warm as spring in the corridor. Is it another day of "envying other people's schools"? Once again, give a big thumbs up to this thoughtful facility!
