上海理工大学基础学院校区

Have you ever wondered what secrets lie hidden behind the walls of the Shanghai University of Science and Technology (USST) Jungong Road Campus? This campus, the main hub of USST, holds a rich history, nestled among historic buildings in the northeast of downtown Shanghai. The University of Shanghai for Science and Technology traces its origins back to 1906, when it was founded as the Shanghai Baptist College and Seminary. The first president, John Thomas Proctor, led the institution from 1906 to 1910. He also served as a professor of history and philosophy. Did you know the first Chinese professor at the college was Mr. Tong Tsing-En? The very first Chinese president was Dr. Herman C. E. Liu, who presided over the university from 1928 to 1938. The University of Shanghai for Science and Technology we see today resulted from a merger. In 1996, East China University of Technology and the Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Technology combined to form the modern USST. This merger brought together a diverse range of disciplines, solidifying USST’s position as a key university in Shanghai. The university’s name reflects its historical connection to the University of Shanghai. USST Jungong Road Campus stands as a testament to the past. The campus boasts the largest collection of historical buildings among Shanghai’s universities. These structures, built between the 1900s and 1940s, have earned the designation of “Heritage Architecture” from the Shanghai Municipal Government. The campus is a mix of architectural styles, primarily late Romanesque and simplified Gothic Revival, constructed with masonry. The University of Shanghai for Science and Technology offers a blend of old and new. This blend makes the Jungong Road Campus a fascinating destination.
