Pursuant to the college’s unified plan, the Laboratory of Functional Materials for Water Environments underwent a complete renovation starting in January 2025. Functional zones were redefined and outfitted with new utility lines and experimental installations tailored to each zone’s specific needs. From January to May 2025, all experimental work was conducted at the Ningbo Branch of the National Engineering Research Center for Biochip Technology, School of Marine Sciences. Renovation was completed on 24 May 2025, and the entire research group returned to the laboratory.
