A New Generation Coming: Building Renovation in CFLL

Over these past three years, the whole campus has had quite a few changes such as the reconstruction of the road at the front gate, the new street lights, and the improvements of the drainage facilities. The College of Foreign Languages and Literatures (CFLL) has gone to great efforts to renovate all the facilities, from the revamping of the classrooms and restrooms, to new instruction equipment. All these renovations provide a better learning environment for students in CFLL, but these renovations have been in the making for a long time, even since CFLL’s founding in 1963. To create a better and more globalized learning environment, the College designed a building with more classrooms that combine language learning and diverse fields together to help students in CFLL obtain more skills for their future careers. Today, fundraising continues for future planned improvements.

In 2020, the first floor of the FG building was redesigned around the concept of globalization. Furthermore, Dean Liu also put three iMac computers and a projector in the lobby area for students. The sofa and bar section allows students to chat with each other to build community. According to Professor Wen-ling Su, Dean Liu has made great efforts to renovate the old CFLL building, such as revamping restrooms, refurbishing multimedia classrooms, and constructing the Center for Cross-Cultural & Cross-Disciplinary Communication located on the fifth floor of LB. However, all these works were not only through the efforts of the Dean and the departments, but also required a fund-raising project.
