Library
In 1999, the school buildings were severely damaged by the 921 Earthquake. To comply with the reconstruction plan, the library was temporarily relocated to the basement of the Student Activity Center (book lending center), the basement of Hui-Sun Memorial Hall (periodical reference center), and the first floor of the old Science & Engineering Building (videos and audios service and administrative center), the old Food Crops Research Institute (collections of rare sets of books and old documents), study seats were provided in the basement of the male dormitory, Xin-Zhai and Zhi-Zhai.
The new library’s construction work was completed, and was opened on September 21, 2005. It is a building with one floor of underground basement and seven floors above ground. The total floor area of the building is 34,492 square meters with approximately 2,000 seats for reading.

Forests under the custody of Experimental Forest Management Office, NCHU:Wenshan, Tungshih, Huisun, and Hsinhua

The National Chung Hsing University as today has evolved from Taiwan Academy of Agronomy and Forestry (TAAF) that was established in 1919 by the Jepaness Colonial Government in Taiwan for providing agricultural and education services. Three experimental forest stations(Tungshih, Hsinhua and Wenshan) were subsequently established and dedicated as an integral part of TAAF for research functions and professional training in forestry. These three forests were purposefully selected from each of the northern, central and southern regions of Taiwan to offer TAAF a rich representation of forests, vegetation and watersheds for research, teaching and professional training activities. This has made these forests one of the best combined experimental forests in Taiwan. Nengkao Experimental Forest was designated as the fourth experimental forest station in 1949 to further broaden the representation of forests in different climates and elevations, and was renamed as Huisun Experimental Forest station in 1967.
