Peiyangyuan Campus

The layout of the Students’ Dormitory Buildings at Peiyangyuan Campus is designed with a focus on student welfare. The 24 enclosed buildings are strategically located around academic facilities and near dining halls, supermarkets, and other essential services, housing approximately 20,000 students. The dormitory buildings form a courtyard that encloses all four sides. The names of each building—Ge Yuan, Zhi Yuan（知园）, Cheng Yuan, Zheng Yuan, Xiu Yuan, Qi Yuan, Zhi Yuan（治园）, and Ping Yuan—are derived from the eight steps for self-perfection as outlined in The Book of Rites and The Great Learning. These steps include learning from nature (gewu), pursuing the truth (zhizhi), remaining honest to one’s heart (chengyi), practicing temperance (zhengxin), perfecting one’s personality (xiushen), harmonizing one’s family (qijia), managing one’s country (zhiguo), and restoring peace to the world (pingtianxia).

The standard accommodation arrangement consists of: four undergraduates sharing a room, two graduate students sharing a room, and PhD students residing in individual rooms. The dormitory fee is 1,200 yuan per person per year. Additionally, the university provides full-time married PhD students with specialized couples’ apartments.

Each apartment building comes equipped with an entrance guard, automatic gates, a security monitoring system, an electronic information distribution system, and fire escape windows. The self-service desk includes hot plates, hair dryers, microwave ovens, and other essential facilities.

The dormitory buildings for undergraduates and graduate students are fully equipped with laundry facilities, study areas, and ample public activity spaces. Each floor contains public shower rooms, water fountains, and free solar-heated water for washing. Full-time PhD students are provided with single rooms that include independent toilet and shower facilities.

Each room is furnished with essential items, including beds, air conditioning, and a water dispenser. The Office of Students’ Living Quarters Management and Service Center on Peiyangyuan Campus is responsible for ideological and political education, cultural initiatives, and the routine allocation and management of accommodations.

Tianjin University has partnered with Dongwu Property Management Company, Aramark Property Management Company, and Zhonghang Property Management Company through an open bidding process to enhance services including the guard tour system, entrance guard system, public sanitation management, facilities repair and maintenance, and other routine services.
