Formally established almost 100 years ago by the Holy See of the Catholic Church, Fu Jen Catholic University (FJU) is the Chinese-speaking world's oldest Catholic institution of higher learning. The large population of more than 25,000 students study a variety of disciplines up to the Ph.D. level. Located in New Taipei City, Taiwan, the FJU campus has slowly evolved from a low-density suburb into a highly populated urban environment dominated by mid-rise buildings.
The FJU College of Medicine was established in 1990 and has grown to offer many areas of study such as mental health and long-term care, along with full medical and nursing schools. The College of Medicine's growing size was addressed with a new addition to the existing academic facility. A large curved glass curtain wall spans both the existing and new buildings, uniting them as one. Completed in September 2006, the new addition includes medical laboratories, clinical trial centers, a library, a convention hall, outpatient clinics, and administrative spaces. |
