A Modern Connection Space in the Heart of the Nguyen Tri Phuong Campus

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Tran Thi Tuan Anh — Vice Rector of CELG — shared her vision and dedication behind the CELG Connection Space. The space was conceived from the practical need for a venue where CELG faculty could engage in professional exchanges, foster multidisciplinary research, and complement formal academic activities such as seminars, workshops, and conferences.

The project optimized the functional use of the 10th-floor common corridor in Building B1, transforming it into a "Connection Hub" with a minimalist yet refined aesthetic. The space's highlights include elegantly painted and clad accent walls, a distinctive system of green sofas paired with modern round tables, and refreshing touches of greenery. This is not only an efficient use of infrastructure but also a place where researchers and faculty can pause, engage in professional discussions, and spark future multidisciplinary and cross-field research projects.
