A landmark of China’s semiconductor self-sufficiency and high-tech architectural identity.
Spanning a vast site of approximately 1.31 square kilometers, the YMTC in Wuhan integrates large-scale fabrication spaces with cutting-edge architectural expression. The campus exemplifies a new generation of high-tech industrial architecture—balancing modular expansion, energy efficiency, and strong corporate identity.
Master plan
ADB Zone
The masterplan includes three semiconductor fabrication plants (FABs) and associated facilities, supported by a long, gently curved strip of land that houses the office and R&D complex. This elongated massing is segmented by recessed balconies and multi-level green terraces, culminating in a large circular oculus at the roof level. At night, lighting within this aperture produces a rhythmic and iconic visual presence.
The building façades combine glass curtain walls and aluminum cladding, giving the volumes a lightweight and modern appearance. The main lobby features a fully glazed entrance, creating a striking and welcoming experience for visitors.
OS Zone
The layout of the office and R&D buildings emphasizes horizontal flow, forming a continuous spatial connection between the FABs and supporting functions. The east-west façades are defined by staggered terraces, creating spatial depth and shaded semi-outdoor platforms for informal interactions. The first two floors adopt a modular stepped design with indirect lighting, showcasing a globalized, forward-looking image aligned with the dynamism of the semiconductor industry.
Future Hall
Serving as the campus’ main recreational and event facility, Future Hall reflects the same architectural language as the ADB zone—featuring aluminum panels and glass to express a sleek, contemporary identity. Inside, the building accommodates a wide array of programs: • Multi-sport training halls • A large auditorium (3,500–6,000 seats)• A mid-sized lecture theater (800 seats) • A 10-lane Olympic-standard swimming pool • Various leisure and dining areas This diverse functionality supports the daily well-being of staff while reinforcing YMTC’s vision for a vibrant and holistic high-tech campus.
