Chapter 368: Chapter 240: The Second Phase Expansion Plan of The School (First Update, 6k Big Chapter, Please Subscribe) _1

It is certainly possible for a stadium to squeeze in more than 20,000 people, but having all of them do military training on the pitch is evidently space-consuming.

Thus, some faculties and classes were taken to the spacious roads surrounding the gymnasium.

Since the gymnasium was built on the northern side of the campus, the roads there are wide and open, rarely frequented by people. Hence, it proved to be a quite suitable place for military training.

Besides, the plaza in front of the Book Ship Library also served as an excellent space for military training.

However.

It may be that the academic and sports department did not consider it thoroughly. They only thought of using the spacious plaza in front of the Book Ship Library for military training of the new 2021 batch but forgot the area housed a library.

Although more than 20,000 new students of the 2021 batch are undergoing military training, the sophomore seniors are still having regular classes.

Consequently, many of those going to the Book Ship Library were more or less disturbed by the new students training in the plaza outside.

Therefore.

A critique post about the military training on the plaza in front of the Book Ship Library emerged on the school forum, garnering much heat in the discussions.

[Did the school leaders in charge of military training decide on a whim to conduct it beside the library? Can students still read peacefully?]

Needless to say, the sister who posted was quite sturdy, going so far as to diss the school leaders in charge of the military training in her post.

The leader here does not refer to Ding Yue, for he no longer handles the new student military training this year, passing all affairs to Xiong Yang, the director of the academic and sports department.

"Ah, it’s so annoying, I was reading perfectly well when suddenly, the sounds of counting from the outside!"

"Honestly, it’s kinda noisy!"

"This year we accepted a bit too many new students, as the stadium is evidently insufficient for military training, but whoever thought of conducting it on the plaza in front of the library?"

"Move them all to the wide road near the gymnasium, please, just not here in the library area."

"Can we at least have some peace to read?"

"Who the hell arranged for the training to take place here?"

The post is growing more and more popular. Not only that, but some students have also reported the matter to the school management.

On the morning of September 3rd.

Ding Yue was contemplating an expansion plan for the second phase of Mist City Arts and Science University, as well as pondering over the establishment of a school construction team.

The number of new students this year has exceeded Ding Yue’s expectations more or less.

Although Ding Yue believed that this year’s system mission goal would likely be achieved, the unexpected increase of new students to more than 20,000 was a surprise.

Initially, Ding Yue estimated around 17,000 students. Now it appears that the Mist City Arts and Science University has become the choice of many students who did not perform as well in the College Entrance Examination.

Seeing how many new students signed up this year implies that the number of new students might be rising next year, and the years to come.

In that case, the original 2,500-acre campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, plus the newly built parts of the campus, would have difficulty accommodating the increasing crowd once all four student batches are recruited.

With the 9,600-plus students from the 2020 batch, the number of admissions is estimated to be at least 20,000 a year.

In two or three years, once all four student batches are filled, Mist City Arts and Science University would be home to at least 70,000 to 80,000 students.

Consider this: even Qinghua University only has around 50,000 students.

Therefore, Ding Yue thought it was necessary to get the new campus expansion back on the agenda soon, to make full use of the 5,000-acre educational land application.

At least to ensure that when the number of students in Mist City Arts and Science University reaches its peak in a few years, the school can still accommodate everyone perfectly.

"In two years, the count will be at least double my initial estimate. Many college buildings, including teaching buildings, laboratories, dormitories, will need to be expanded. Hence the second expansion project could be larger than anticipated."

Ding Yue mumbled to himself while listing the items for the second expansion project on his computer.

The second expansion project planned by Ding Yue is a major expansion for Mist City Arts and Science University. This means that all the educational facilities needed for the four student batches will be built during the second expansion.

In that case, the second phase of the expansion project would involve a lot more work than the first, which included basic educational facilities like the Book Ship Library, dormitories, basketball courts, etc.

Because even the basic teaching facilities, such as classrooms, laboratories, etc., are included in the second expansion project.

The increase in project size means an increase in Ding Yue’s funding for the school.

This year, including old students, the tuition and accommodation fees collected exceeded ten billion yuan.

Last year, after enhancing the level of Mist City Arts and Science University to Minor Achievements, a reward of ten billion yuan in school funds was received, plus approximately three billion yuan in tuition and accommodation fees from the first academic year, along with the school funds rewarded from accomplishing the University Task this academic year.

The money is coming quickly, but it’s also being spent quickly.

Quite a bit was spent on the first phase of the expansion project, with an investment of 1.5 billion yuan just for the Book Ship Library. There was also the over one billion yuan’s worth of laboratory equipment purchased for his sister, in addition to various teaching expenses throughout the year.

In the end, only about 2.5 billion yuan remained.

Ding Yue sketched a rough plan: the remaining 2.5 billion yuan + 10 billion yuan from this year’s tuition fees + the 1 billion yuan recruitment reward.
