Hengqin to build new primary school in Financial Island District, adding 1,350 student places

Hengqin is building a new primary school in the Financial Island District of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone with its main structure recently reaching the topping-out stage. The school is expected to be completed and operational by 2026, providing 30 teaching classes and 1,350 high-quality student places.

The campus will include teaching and auxiliary spaces, administrative offices, life service facilities, and optional function rooms, such as recording broadcast classrooms, STEAM maker labs, a Go (Weiqi) room, and art creative spaces. It will also feature an underground traffic distribution center and extensive outdoor support facilities.

The teaching area will incorporate rooftop gardens and semi-enclosed courtyards, fostering an efficient, compact, and scholarly atmosphere while enhancing architectural layering and ecological quality.

Each floor will be seamlessly connected by corridors, improving accessibility between different areas and embodying traditional Lingnan architectural wisdom adapted to the rainy climate.

The Financial Island, located in the core area of Hengqin, has rapidly transformed into a hub for the financial industry in recent years. The construction of this primary school is a key support measure for Hengqin in improving its public service system and optimizing the business environment.

Upon completion, the project will address the gap in primary education within the Financial Island and alleviate the shortage of student places.
