• Launch Pad for Learning: Deloitte University AP China Takes Education to the Future

    13 June 2025

    Where tradition meets tomorrow—this campus is rewriting the rulebook on leadership training.

    Step inside Deloitte University Asia Pacific China (DU AP China), and you’re instantly transported into a world where education feels more like an adventure in a futuristic space station.

    Designed by the visionary team at aoe, this cutting-edge campus in Beijing isn’t just a place to learn—it’s an incubator for bold ideas, next-gen leadership, and groundbreaking collaboration.

    A Learning Experience Like No Other

    Imagine strolling through space tunnels lined with a Magnetic Wall, leading to over 40 independent classrooms where groups of 12 to 24 gather for dynamic, interactive sessions.

    Forget passive lectures—this is about immersive experiences, powered by high-end multimedia in the Future Classroom. Deloitte’s mission? To create a green, intelligent education hub that merges the best of human connection with digital transformation.

    If education is evolving, then so is its architecture. aoe’s design philosophy breathes life into DU AP China, blending future technology, green sustainability, and cultural roots into an effortlessly cohesive space. The grand atrium’s Tree of Culture & Values connects past and present, while skywalks crisscross overhead, giving a sense of movement, energy, and discovery.

    The Ultimate Welcome: Sci-Fi Meets Tradition

    DU AP China greets visitors with the Perfect Match installation—a bold fusion of Chinese heritage and sleek, contemporary innovation. But it’s the giant lantern, crafted from double-layer translucent ETFE film, that truly steals the show. Sitting atop wooden steps, surrounded by colour-changing cushions, it’s a spot designed for reflection, connection, and inspiration.

    Beyond classrooms, the action doesn’t stop. The Grand Ballroom dazzles with dragon-scale-shaped lighting and wave-patterned textures, while the restaurant and bar introduce an unexpected collision of sci-fi and cyberpunk aesthetics.

    Whether it’s engaging discussions in the café or networking beneath cosmic-styled ceilings, DU AP China fosters an environment where every interaction sparks innovation.

    The Future of Leadership Starts Here

    DU AP China isn’t just another training facility—it’s a launchpad for talent, a melting pot of ideas, and a beacon for the future of business education. The collaboration between Deloitte and aoe ensures that this campus pushes boundaries, shaping leadership in ways that are as innovative as its architecture.

    Tag a friend who needs to see this—because the future of learning has arrived, and it’s nothing like we expected!
