Scaffolds and cranes dot the landscape in Kunshan, the same as any other city in China.

There, a university campus is rising on 200 acres in a city of 650,000 in the Yangtze River Delta. It’s called Duke Kunshan University, and it’s being watched closely on this side of the world.

Duke has entered into a bold endeavor to plant its footprint in the fastest-growing major economy on the planet. The campus will be the largest undertaking in Duke’s quest to establish a global network for education and research.
