Buildings

The campus has been nicknamed "Hui Garden" (惠园). Seven buildings are either dormitories or classroom buildings. There is a major academic building at the northwest of the site, which used to belong to the China Institute of Finance, named Boxue (博学楼). Another modern teaching building at the southeastern side,named Ningyuan (宁远楼). There is also an imposing structure in the middle of the campus, named Chengxin (诚信楼). A new library building was opened in October 2008.

Apart from the sports areas, the rest of the campus is pleasantly landscaped, grassy lawns, Chinese garden (south side), bird cage, and a water pond dubbed (humorous) the "Back Sea" (see Houhai) by students.

Some members of the administration have nicknamed the university "the Switzerland of Chinese universities", noting its compact size and high quality. The University recently hired a foreign branding expert - Alexander Goldsborough - as Director of International Marketing and Communications, to revisit the brand image of the University. As a niche University in the Chinese landscape, UIBE works hard to be innovative and welcoming to international students.
