Directions

Getting to the Center

Located on the top floor of the three-storey wing of the Number Eleven Education Building, just inside and to the northwest of the East Gate, the building that houses the China Center is L-shaped with four entrance points. The longer five-storey building runs west-east and the shorter three-storey building is connected at the west side of the longer one. Access between these two buildings is possible only on the second floor, so navigating inside can be confusing for first-time visitors. The main entrance to the building is on the southeast corner of the five-storey wing. To access the China Center from this door, ascend to the second floor and walk west and then south before ascending to the third floor. Most Friends World students, however, enter through the two entrances on the west and east side of three-storey wing and ascend to the third floor directly. Another entrance is located just to the north of these on the west side of the five-storey wing and is the only door that provides access to the center during university holidays.
