Facilities
Qiantan New Bund Campus
NYU Shanghai’s new 114,000-square-meter campus is located in Pudong’s Qiantan neighborhood, also called The New Bund. Composed of four interlocked structures set around an academic quadrangle, the award-winning campus—designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and the Arcplus Institute of Shanghai Architectural Design & Research—serves as not only an academic base for the NYU Shanghai community but also a cultural hub for the Qiantan district.
The nine-story campus was designed to express the university’s cosmopolitan spirit, integrating multiple architectural and cultural traditions; its courtyard integrates the Western ‘cloister’-inspired quadrangle and the Chinese Scholars’ Garden. Some facilities include a 5,000 square-meter library, 4,000-square-meter athletics space including a fitness center and two gymnasiums, a colloquium space, a state of the art recital hall, a 600-person auditorium, the NYU Shanghai Institute of Contemporary Arts with 600 square meters of exhibition space, a multi-level open space canteen that can seat several hundred diners, and classroom spaces that accommodate a range of students—from dozens to hundreds—with advanced digital equipment to meet the needs of online, offline and mixed-mode teaching.

Residence Halls
NYU Shanghai students live in newly constructed apartment towers in the Houtan Area, located 2.3km from the Qiantan New Bund campus, a 10-minute drive or 15-20 minute bike ride away. The room types are designed for apartment-style living where students have their own private bathroom, kitchen, and living area. Students can select between single or double occupancy in suites or single, double, and triple occupancy studios. The neighborhood features a community center with food and gym offerings, green space, and a vibrant community.
In the Residence Halls, students are supported by a Resident Assistant (RA) or peer mentor. By living alongside fellow students and RAs, students form intimate living and learning communities that promote a holistic education and an exchange of ideas to continue and flourish beyond the classroom.
