. Due to its proximity to precision instruments located at the university's laboratories, the station was built at a deeper level underground in order to reduce the impact of vibrations from the train tunnels. Another feature of this station unique to the Shanghai Metro network, and also intended to reduce the effect of vibrations, is the use of separated walls in its construction. The theme of the station is one of simplicity, with wind pipes and utility wires hidden inside light fixtures. There are also public art installations inside the station, including a sculpture shaped like an egg and carved with zeros and ones, to indicate Line 10 being the first driverless train line in the city, and as a wordplay with the nearby Fudan University (''dan'' can also mean egg in Chinese).
