Located at XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang), the Synterra-CP Studio is a 288-seat active learning environment designed to foster innovation and collaboration. As the primary learning hub for the MSc in Entrepreneurship & Innovation programme, this space represents the next evolution of XJTLU’s educational approach. Building on the ideation-focused SynteX Studio, Synterra emphasizes practical implementation – transforming creative concepts into tangible solutions through project-based learning. The studio’s “CP” designation acknowledges the strategic partnership with CP Group, whose real-world projects form the core of the learning experience.
The facility’s innovative design supports diverse learning modalities through seven interconnected zones that accommodate everything from individual work to team collaborations and presentations. This carefully engineered environment promotes what Professor Andrew King calls “FEAR-less” learning – reducing formal education constraints to encourage experimentation and student agency. As part of XEC’s Syntegrative Education model, Synterra-CP Studio exemplifies how physical space can actively enhance educational outcomes by creating dynamic intersections between academia, industry, and student innovation.
