Huawei just completed its Shanghai Qingpu project and was given the official name of Huawei Lianqiu Lake R&D Center. EE Times China (via machine translation) says this sprawling facility costs over 10 billion Yuan (almost $1.4 billion) and covers 2,600 acres. The company also constructed over 40,000 offices, which is expected to house 35,000 Huawei personnel.
The Lianqiu Lake R&D Center is located about 30 miles West-Southwest of the center of Shanghai, and it’s expected to gather all of Huawei’s research and development efforts, including work on HiSilicon, wireless technologies like 5G-A/6G, Huawei smartphones, automobiles, and digital energy research. The R&D Center is divided into eight districts and will have roads, trains, and elevated overpasses to connect each one to another.
