Having received funding
from the Ministry of Education (R.O.C.) under the category of “Subsidy Directions for
Developing Technological University Paradigms,” YunTech is establishing the Building
for Industry and Academic Research in order to enable joint research and
development of a sustainable form between the academia and industry. As a major
part of “Project 2: Facilitate Joint Research and Development,” the building is
being built to serve as a bridge between the industry and universities in
central Taiwan, including Miaoli,
Taichung, Chanhua, Nantou, Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan, and to assist faculty
members and students of partner universities in having their awarded products
commercialized and technology transferred. Furthermore, it is expected that the
problems industry faces can be combined into courses, leading students to have
practical experiences in solving business problems and absorb the trends of the
industrial field.

Industry and Academic Research is being designed and supervised by Joe Shih
Architects and constructed by Rong Shin Engineering Incorporation. The Construction
and Planning Agency, Ministry of Interior (R.O.C.) is assisting YunTech in
purchasing the required raw materials. The building is expected to scale 8
floors from the ground up and to have 1 floor underground, and it is also being
built by refined concrete. The total budget for the whole building is more than
NTD 410,000,000. The construction period began in August, 2015 and will last
until June, 2017. The building is being established so as to attain a closer link with e industry, achieve cultivation of the human resources of technological universities, and meet research needs.
