The construction of higher education infrastructure in Shanxi Province has ushered in new progress, and the construction project of the school hospital of Shanxi University Dongshan Campus and the improvement project of the basic conditions of Shanxi Institute of Engineering and Technology have both been approved recently. These two projects, with a total investment of nearly 60 million yuan, will improve the quality of colleges and universities from the two dimensions of medical services and campus environment, and demonstrate Shanxi Province's continuous investment in the high-quality development of higher education.

The Dongshan Campus of Shanxi University will build a new 4,200-square-meter three-story campus hospital with a total investment of 29.0389 million yuan. This "small but refined" medical facility integrates basic medical care, health management, emergency diagnosis and treatment, and has functional areas such as physical examination departments, emergency treatment, and pharmacies, which will effectively solve the problem of "seeking medical treatment" for teachers and students on Dongshan Campus. As a key project of the second phase of the first phase of the campus, the completion of the hospital will fill the gap in professional medical services on the campus.

At the same time, Shanxi Institute of Engineering and Technology was approved to implement a 28.7812 million yuan improvement project for basic conditions for running schools. The project includes five major contents: the construction of a new 2,736-meter campus wall, the renovation of 572-meter on-campus roads, the upgrading of the 2,400-square-meter library south square, and the renovation of power facilities and security systems. Although these transformations seem subtle, they directly hit the practical needs of teachers and students such as campus safety, convenient transportation, and comfortable environment.

Education experts pointed out that although the infrastructure projects of the two universities are of different scales, they both reflect the "teacher-student-centered" school philosophy. Shanxi University ensures the health of teachers and students by improving medical facilities, while Shanxi Institute of Engineering and Technology focuses on optimizing the functional layout of the campus. This targeted hardware upgrade is the specific practice of Shanxi Province to promote the connotative development of higher education, which will provide solid support for improving the quality of running schools and the sense of gain of teachers and students.(This article is from the official website of Jiandao www.seetao.com it must not be reproduced without permission, otherwise it will be investigated, please indicate the reprint of Jiandao.com + original link) See the editor of the infrastructure engineering column of Jiandao.com/Gao Xue
