The campus is positioned with the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Chemistry to the west, the South China Botanical Garden to the north, and the South China Express Line in the east. It will be only 300 meters away from Huolu Mountain and thus boast a beautiful natural landscape.

It will cover a total land area of about 197 mu (13.13 hectares) and a combined floor area of nearly 120,000 square meters. It is expected to include 60 classrooms for senior high school and 30 classrooms for junior high school. In total, it will have a student capacity of 4,500.

After completion, the new campus will help solve problems in education infrastructure and make up for the lack of high-quality educational resources in northeast Tianhe district. It will also contribute to the equal allocation of regional educational resources, said Hu Dong, president of the Tianhe Foreign Language School.
