Abstract

During every summer and winter vacation, the entrances of Peking University and Tsinghua University in China are always crowded with visitors. Although it is not yet possible to fully open and share campus facilities with the public, a reasonable solution would be allocating part of the entrance space to create a shared public square, with trees planted and seating arranged. This would offer shade and rest areas for the young visitors and their parents who travel from across the country. Such improvements would not only benefit visitors and reduce security burdens, but also enhance the universities’ image and reflect their spirit of inclusiveness. Moreover, it would offer these prestigious institutions an opportunity to showcase their culture, disseminate knowledge, and promote enlightenment, while embodying the humanistic care and social commitment that universities should uphold.
