Inner Mongolia Dairy Technology Research Institute, has established the National Dairy Technology Center as an innovation hub to promote and showcase advancements in the field in China. Situated on the west side of Yili Health Valley in Hohhot, China's sole national dairy technology innovation centre is 22,213 sm2 with a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 43,510 m2.



The National Dairy Technology Center is not just a building but a purpose-built project that plays a pivotal role in advancing the dairy product industry in China. It is home to state-of-the-art R&D laboratories, pilot incubation laboratories, offices, multi-functional conference halls, and exhibition spaces, all designed to meet specific requirements and international health standards.



More than just a functional space, the National Dairy Technology Center's architectural design is intended to foster a sense of place and identity for research staff and visitors. It is a beacon of the industry's future progress, designed to be a recognizable symbol of the dairy industry's evolution.



The National Dairy Technology Center is thoughtfully designed to be a hub of collaboration and innovation. The central atrium, a communal space for interaction and exhibitions, is surrounded by R&D labs and offices on the south side, maximizing natural light. The pilot incubation laboratory is strategically placed to the north, and conference and meeting facilities are located to the east, catering to the needs of a research and showcase facility. This design is a testament to our commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation in the dairy industry.
