I visited the DKU campus yesterday for the first time.  I was very impressed with the vision and beauty of the campus.  It is going to be a stunning place when it is finished.

Construction on campus is in full swing.  The Conference Center which will temporarily house the faculty, students, and library is not complete.  We will be living in the Swissotel in Kunshan until we can move into the Conference Center.

Mary Bullock and I were given a tour of the Academic Building.  The Academic Building will be the home for the library when we leave our temporary space in the Conference Center.
