Schwarzman College

Schwarzman College (Chinese: 苏世民书院, pinyin: Sūshìmín Shūyuàn) is a residential college building located in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Completed in 2016, it hosts a one-year master's degree leadership program designed to "cultivate the next generation of global leaders". The college was designed by the Driehaus Prize winner Robert A.M. Stern, former Dean of the Yale School of Architecture, and is the first academic building in China to have won a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification.
