The Cultural Exchange Center was first slated for establishment in 2018, with its development and construction in the hands of the Office for Overseas Student Affairs. It was put to use at the end of 2020, with a floor space of 1363.79 sq m. The Culture Exchange Center is built to serve as a multicultural SJTU community that integrates daily services, academic studies and extracurricular activities by drawing on information and resources in and outside SJTU.
