The project involved 30 volunteers, comprising mainland and Hong Kong university students, and architects. The Study Hall is located in a remote minority village, Dazu, a hilly region of an altitude of 2,600 m on the border of Sichuan Province. While retaining the distinguishing features of the first school such as earthquake resistance reaching Mercalli Intensity Scale X, lasting over 20 years, low cost construction, and short construction time (two weeks), the vents of Study Hall are well-positioned and the stack effect is manipulated carefully to keep indoor space cool in summer and warm in winter. A wind turbine is used to provide clean energy to power the LED lights installed in the Study Hall, keeping the total energy consumed for lighting to as low as 1.2 KW. Extra space is also reserved for the installation of a solar ground heating system. The Study Hall has been in operation since 1 September 2010. Students can complete their six-year primary education there and it has attracted students from neighbouring villages.
