In 2019, Shaanxi Provincial Government signed“the Strategic Cooperation Agreement to Support the Development of Social Public Welfare in Shaanxi Province”with Samsung (China) Semiconductor Co., Ltd.，in order to facilitate the three-year public welfare plan of Shaanxi Hope Project. Samsung donated funds to Shaanxi Youth Foundation to assist Xi’an Gaoxin No.6 High School to improve basic teaching conditions.In 2020, Samsung once again donated to Shaanxi Youth Foundation for the first campus library of Shaanxi Hope Project, which has become one of the major projects in the strategic cooperation agreement, and is named as “Zhongnan Shuge”.

Whether a traditional academy in China or a university around the world,the library has always been the core building,symbolizing the cultural and spiritual connotations of school.Based on this, the school carefully selected the site located on the west side of campus main square,hoping to improve the quality of the main space through the construction of library, and showing the determination of a rural middle school to face the future.

The site is a small untended garden where plants grow naturally, teachers and students rarely accessed.At the beginning of design investigation,there were two tall poplars in the garden, but after the epidemic, the poplars had died and were removed.On the west side of the garden,the steel structure stand are divided into two part spaces by a partition wall,the space near the garden has not been used effectively, but it suggests the possibility of the semi-outdoor space in the future.On a clear day, standing in the garden, you can see the beautiful skyline of the village roof and the Qin Mountains through the gap between stand and neighboring building.
