Future development
Two separated campuses in Tsingyuan and
Kangzhuang have long time been a bottleneck in the university's evolution, the opening of
Line 4, Beijing Subway and the construction of
Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway has galloped local real estate price and which made a further expansion harder than ever. A decision in spring 2011 will compel the Economic and Management College garrison in
Kangzhuang campus along while other ten colleges move to Tsingyuan campus, but students and professors of E&M College have been complaining the poor conditions and dispossessed surroundings of Kangzhuang campus.
