A tiny area occupying 35.53 hectares as it is, it displays itself as a special scene on Huashan Road for its grace and elegance. It is especially true when it comes to the old-styled buildings embraced by clouds of skyscrapers. These buildings are there to emanate the fragrance of humanism, among which, is Xiong Foxi Building. It was originally the college's building for performance built and rebuilt respectively in 1903 and 2000. It has two stories and on the first floor is a meeting room and an entertainment room for old cadre while the second floor holds the exhibition room for this college's hishibition room for this college's history.
