Otherwise, if Ding Yue were left to arrange this on his own, he would very likely put the dormitory building in the south and the academic building in the north. Then the students in the dormitory building would have to spend twenty to thirty minutes just on the walk to classes in the academic building, and they would most certainly curse him, Principal Ding, to death!

In a short while, Huang Youjie was the first to arrive at the principal’s office.

"Director Qi is here too?"

After entering the office, Huang Youjie saw that Qi Chunsheng was also there, so he greeted Qi.

"Director Huang." Qi Chunsheng nodded slightly at Huang Youjie.

The two of them held the same rank at Mist City Arts and Science University, both being leaders in charge of specific areas of the school.

"Why are we called here?" Huang Youjie pulled over a chair, sat down, and asked curiously after he arrived.

"Isn’t it because this year’s enrollment exceeded our expectations? This means that our school may be enrolling more students than expected every year. Once the school is filled with students from four grades, the number of students will be enormous, which is why we must promptly plan the expansion of our school campus with its 5000 acres of land."

Ding Yue explained the purpose of calling them over.

"Oh, that’s true." Huang Youjie nodded and then said, "I can only give some suggestions. As for the school’s expansion plan, we have to consult Chen and the others from the School of Architecture."

"Exactly. We asked you here to obtain your suggestions. The concrete planning still has to be handled by the School of Architecture."

Ding Yue shrugged and said.

"Alright."

"Since Director Qi is here as well, surely we will have to build new academic buildings in Mist City Arts and Science University. How can we make the distance between the teaching area, the students, and the living area more reasonable when designing the layout of the academic buildings? Director Qi, do you have any suggestions or ideas?"

Ding Yue then turned to ask Director Qi Chunsheng.

Qi Chunsheng immediately nodded, "Principal Ding, we do indeed need to plan this carefully. I have encountered a situation at a university once, where the academic building was far from the students’ dormitory building, resulting in a high rate of late arrivals for classes."

"That’s right. It would be best if the academic buildings, dormitory buildings, and the cafeteria are lined up one after another, right?"

Ding Yue had been considering this awhile ago.

He felt that what he had come up with was probably one of the best ways to plan a school campus, involving the three different primary functional buildings: dormitory, academic building, and the cafeteria.

After all, the academic buildings are where students attend classes and study, the cafeteria is where they eat, and the dormitory buildings are where they reside and sleep. If these three crucial buildings were to be distributed in a haphazard manner during the planning, it’s clear who would suffer the consequences - the students.

Ding Yue noticed that in the current campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, which covers 2500 acres, the academic buildings are in the middle, and both cafeteria 1 and 2 are on the east of the academic buildings. Cafeteria 1 is a bit above the others, on the north side, while Cafeteria 2 is below.

What is worth noting is that to the east of both cafeterias are dormitory buildings and apartments. Just like what Ding Yue mentioned earlier, the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the academic buildings form a straight line.

This makes it extremely convenient for students to go to classes, eat, and return to their dorms.

For instance, in the morning, after they pick up their textbooks from the dormitory, they can pass by the cafeteria on their way to the academic building, have breakfast, and then go directly to the academic buildings. This convenient and extremely efficient arrangement could save the students a lot of time.

Similarly, after classes in the afternoon or noon, they can head straight to the cafeteria, have a meal, and then merrily return to their dormitories to play fun games with their fellow roommates!

"Indeed, Principal Ding. The academic area, the cafeteria, and dormitories should ideally form one straight line, and not be too far away from each other. Otherwise, it would waste the students’ time."

Qi Chunsheng nodded in agreement with Principal Ding’s words.

"Next is the planning and arrangement of the gymnasium. For this, we need to ask Director Xiong Yang of the Sports and Culture Department if he has any good suggestions."

Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders and said.

However, both Director Xiong Yang of the Sports and Culture Department and Director Chen Ping of the School of Architecture had not yet arrived.

But speak of the devil, and he appears.

As Xu Bin pushed open the door of the principal’s office, Director Xiong Yang of the Sports and Culture Department and Director Chen Ping of the School of Architecture came together with him.

"How come you three came together?" Ding Yue asked with a smile.

"We just happened to run into each other downstairs." Xu Bin came over, sat next to Huang Youjie, and then asked curiously, "Principal Ding, why did you call us here? Is there something you need?"

"Director Xiong Yang."

Ignoring Bin, Ding Yue first called out Xiong Yang.

"Principal Ding."

Upon hearing Ding Yue, Xiong Yang quickly came over.

"Just now, Director Qi pointed out that it’s not quite appropriate to arrange for the military training of the freshmen of the class of 2021 in front of the Book Ship Library."

First, Ding Yue informed Xiong Yang about this issue, indicating that he should relocate the freshmen conducting military training in front of the Book Ship Library to another place.

"What do you mean, Principal Ding?"

Xiong Yang did not quite understand the meaning of Principal Ding’s words. In what way was it inappropriate?

Where was the problem?

Obviously, Xiong Yang had also temporarily overlooked the issue of the military training affecting the students studying in the library.

"Director Xiong, many of the sophomores have complained that the military training of the freshmen happening in the square in front of the library is significantly affecting their studies in the library. Just now, Director Qi suggested that we move the freshmen conducting military training in front of the library to another place."
