After four long years of renovation, we are thrilled to announce the newest addition to Tsinghua University's campus.

Situated to the the east of the university's main auditorium, the historic structure, once the Electrical Machinery Hall, is known for its iconic red brick walls covered with green ivy.

The building, which was first transformed into a journalism school by the Omnicom Group, the world's largest advertising and media conglomerate, has been recognized as one of Tsinghua University's early architectural treasures by the Beijing Municipal Government.

Spanning 1,200 square meters across four floors, this building consists of 80 rooms, supporting journalism students with enhanced facilities and resources.

Students now have more access to the 10 donated Bloomberg terminals on campus because of the opening of the new Global Business Journalism classroom and Bloomberg Laboratory, situated on the second floor. The GBJ classroom was inaugurated on March 25 by co-director Rick Dunham, who delivered a lecture on data journalism storytelling as part of Professor Lee Miller's Data Mining course.

The first regularly scheduled courses in the GBJ classroom will take place in the fall semester of 2024, but students are already using the Bloomberg terminals located in the laboratory portion of the classroom. Other Bloomberg terminals are available in the Tsinghua Future Media Lab.
