Outdoor Research and Teaching Space

Outdoor Research and Teaching Space

The outdoor research and teaching space (ORTS), is a University facility to host outdoor activities for research and teaching. In ORTS, the users can design any project in various natural environments. If you are interested in nature-assisted teaching and learning, you are welcome to go there and have a look or contact us, and we will give a short introduction. The ORTS is situated next to the ES building at South Campus.

Now we are calling for projects. Users will be allocated a plot (up to several square meter) in ORTS, and can perform their projects during the time allocated for their individual project. The project is not limited to gardening and other environmental projects, ORTS could be as well used as an exhibition space or for teaching. The more creative a project is, the more likely it will be supported.

Beginning with the year 2024 projects can be performed by all members of XJTLU. The application process will be announced in more detail later.

If you are interested in becoming a user of ORTS, please contact ORTS.HES@xjtlu.edu.cn
