Xu Xu revealed that the three historically protected buildings next door to Shangyin will be transferred to Shangyin as a whole to provide more space for teaching and scientific research; after rationalizing the ownership of property rights and solving the problems left over from history, the six historically protected buildings in Shangyin will be repaired as soon as possible; the campus is open to respond to the aspirations of the people of Shanghai for Shangyin, especially high-quality cultural and artistic products.
"We opened the campus in order to better integrate into the urban area, neighborhood, and community, so that Shangyin's cultural and artistic creation and excellent spiritual food can serve the public, including many art appreciation and master classes." Of course, public classes are not open to the public, nor are they fully open, allowing small traders and hawkers (on campus) to wander around, affecting the landscape of the campus. ”
Xu Xu said, "We will definitely integrate openness and appropriate management services, present a more open and inclusive Shangyin campus culture, provide the public with the scene of aesthetic education, and realize the four sentences proposed by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the founder of Shangyin a hundred years ago: cultivate music professionals, one side inputs world music, one party engages in sorting out Chinese music, the period tends to datong, and cultivates the national beauty and harmony of the spirit and its art." ”
"The people's city is built by the people, the people's city is built for the people, the people's university is built by the people, and the people's university must also be built for the people." As the people's art academy and the people's art university, Shangyin must return it to the people. Xu Xu stressed that in addition to the opening of the campus, "we must also move the classroom and entrepreneurship platform to various parks and cultural and artistic venues in the city to truly serve the public and truly embody the responsibility of 'double first-class' universities." ”

This is a campus that has given birth to countless musical masterpieces and countless musical legends, but for the general public, there is always some mystery. By demolishing the walls and opening to the public, this legendary campus will benefit even more.
On the Shangyin campus, there are many historical buildings worth looking at, such as the old dean's office building (formerly the Jewish Club), the expert building (the former Belgian Consulate in Shanghai), the old library building (once used as the Belgian consulate in Shanghai), and under the shade of green trees, these old European-style buildings are the lingering place for many photography enthusiasts.
In addition, Shangyin also has a north-south teaching building that records the glorious history, an eighteen-story teaching building that depicts a beautiful blueprint for the future, and two theaters with music, including the He Luting Concert Hall and the Shangyin Opera House.
In order to be close to the public, since 2015, every year during the "Shanghai Spring" International Music Festival, Shangyin will hold a "Music Open Week", which invites the public to enter the campus and get close to the campus activities, including concerts, music lectures, course openings, theater visits, rehearsal visits, etc. This is also an important platform for Shangyin to break the barriers of colleges and universities and use art to give back to the society.
