The new site is located in the north of Jinshui Avenue, east of Jinxiu Road and west of Xianghu Lake, with a planned area of 134.4 mu, a building area of 81.68 mu and a total height of 43.85 m.

The design inspiration of the new site comes from the profound culture of Central Plains and the ancient scientific and technological civilization. The design creativity comes from the image of Culture in Heluo Area.

From the perspective of appearance, the curve shape and the change of the strength of the new site seem like an engine's propeller and a flying bird. It has a strong sense of science and technology which implies the prosperity of Henan and the rise of the Central Plain.
