11.4.9) Building on brownfield sites
Build on brownfield sites, where possible.

According to the resolution of the campus planning committee of TKU, no new buildings will be built in the next 5 years (2020-2024). In the future, if there are new building plans for the Tamsui Campus, Taipei Campus, and Lanyang Campus, the old buildings will be prioritized to evaluate their durability and to revitalize and reuse the space. That is, the reconstruction of the original site is the main method, and the impervious pavement of the campus is not increased, which can reduce the impact of the campus environment and avoid the waste of building materials resources. In 2020, the university will rebuild the staff dormitories of Gang and Yi on Tamsui Campus into student dormitories of Songtao Hall 4 and Hall 5. Through the reuse of old buildings, based on the original dormitory space, the partitions and decorations are renovated to serve as a space for students' family-style accommodation. The process avoids the massive resource consumption caused by the demolition and reconstruction, and its spirit echoes with the neighboring education college building, which is also the reuse of the old building.
