Located in the core area of Huairou Science City, the Huairou Campus of the Institute of Physics (IOP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) enjoys a picturesque setting at the base of the majestic Great Wall and alongside the serene Yanqi Lake. This campus is home to "One Facility and Two Centers": the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility, a premier national science facility, and two cutting-edge interdisciplinary research centers—the Center for Clean Energy and the Center for Materials Genome Initiative. These centers are collaborative initiatives between CAS and the Beijing Municipal Government.
The IOP Huairou Campus covers an area of around 230 mu, boasting a construction area of 118,000 square meters, and supported by a total investment of around 2.4 billion yuan. The construction of "One Facility and Two Centers" commenced in 2017 and was completed in July 2020. They are now open to domestic and international users.
