Chapter 1709: Chapter 898: The Whole School Reaches a Unified Understanding

"Director Xu, do you have anything to say?"

Ding Yue noticed that Bin seemed to have some ideas, so he looked at him and asked.

"That’s right."

Xu Bin nodded slightly, then looked around at the department directors in the meeting room, and calmly said, "I was inspired by Director Wu Changdao’s proactive approach to volunteering earlier, which got me thinking about relocating departments to the south campus. Currently, the National Academy’s laboratories and research areas in our campus are neither impossible to move nor too difficult to relocate. For instance, the gymnasium and stadium over there can provide spaces for the National Academy, right?"

The department directors all nodded upon hearing this.

Director Xu Bin stated this rationale, and Ding Yue seemed to understand his meaning upon hearing it.

"Director Xu, do you mean... relocate those departments whose labs and research areas are not too difficult to move, to the south campus?"

Ding Yue asked directly.

"Exactly, that’s what I mean."

Xu Bin nodded and replied, "Because relocating the departments with major laboratories and research facilities is indeed very challenging, especially with some equipment that’s impossible to move, or the cost of moving them is extremely high. Have the department directors considered this?"

Director Xu Bin’s words were indeed enlightening for every department director present.

"Indeed, relocating our Physics Department’s high-energy particle colliders would be very costly," the Physics Department director said, shaking his head.

"Yes, yes."

"Indeed, we shouldn’t cause unnecessary waste."

"That is indeed a criterion for consideration."

"In that case, our Social Sciences could choose to move."

"Our Philosophy Department as well."

In a short while, the department directors all began to think of the school. Based on Director Xu Bin’s suggestion, other department directors also volunteered to relocate to the south campus.

For example, the Social Sciences and Philosophy Departments.

These departments, while important, did not require as much investment in terms of funds and equipment as the Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, or Aerospace Departments.

Therefore, their relocation costs would be relatively low.

"Principal Ding, our Chinese Department can also be transferred."

At this moment, the director of the Chinese Department also stood up and said.

In Mist City Arts and Science University, the Chinese Department is one of the larger ones. It includes various Chinese-related specialties, literature, and classics. This department doesn’t possess as many labs as the science and engineering departments, but it does have a collection center, which isn’t too much of a problem to relocate.

"The Foreign Language Department can also be moved."

The director of the Foreign Language Department did not refuse to relocate either, since the Chinese Department chose to move to the south campus, the Foreign Language Department naturally followed suit.

"Mm-hmm."

Ding Yue was very satisfied as he nodded and said, "Considering the relocation costs for the university, I am very pleased. At the south campus, you will have the same opportunities for development, believe me."

Xu Bin’s suggestion, based on the difficulty and cost of relocation, on which departments should move to the south campus, was undoubtedly very sound.

Clearly, most of the departments in the sciences wouldn’t move.

Over the years, Mist City Arts and Science University has placed great emphasis on the sciences, with various laboratories being rapidly established, and the scale of research base centers continually expanding. Currently, the number of advanced laboratories in the research base center ranks among the top in domestic universities.

Of course, there are still some science departments that haven’t had the chance to build laboratories and research sites. These departments can consider relocating and looking for better locations to build research facilities in the south campus.

After all, the research base center at the current campus is gradually approaching saturation.

"In that view, Principal Yue, our Law School can also be moved. I think the Computer Science Department where Director Xu is, shouldn’t move since the server groups are here."

At this time, Huang Youjie made suggestions regarding his alma mater, the Law School, and Xu Bin’s alma mater, the Computer Science Department.

The Law School is indeed suitable for relocation.

After all, the Law School doesn’t have major facilities or equipment, just some legal simulation classrooms, which can be modified easily.

In a nutshell,

Departments that are focused on theory during the academic term can actually be moved to the south campus, while departments focused on practice, with established foundations, won’t move, because the cost and difficulty of relocation are too high.

"So, shall we add the Law School to the relocation list?"

Ding Yue looked at the director of the Law School.

Since Huang Youjie wasn’t the director of the Law School, but an outstanding alumnus, his suggestion required the Law School director’s consent.
