Beijing Students' Activity Administration Center, Children's educational center in Longtan Subdistrict, China.
The Beijing Students' Activity Administration Center occupies a 144,200-square-metre site at 11 Zuoanmen West Street, with 49,200 square metres of floor space. Its campus holds facilities for arts, sports, science, and plant and environmental education. It also carries the signs of the Beijing Children's Palace, the Beijing Youth Science and Technology Museum, and the Beijing Teaching Botanical Garden.
The Beijing Children's Palace opened on 1 June 1955 in the Shouhuang Hall of Jingshan Park, after the site was chosen in 1954 by Xu Yongjiang and Wu Zhongchao and approved by mayor Peng Zhen. The Beijing Youth Science and Technology Museum, founded on 26 May 1957, merged with it in 2000 to form the Beijing Students' Activity Administration Center. In 2013 the center moved to 11 Zuoanmen West Street and the Jingshan buildings were returned to the park.
The center offers young people a space to explore traditional Chinese arts alongside contemporary skills in computing and languages. Children can learn from specialized instructors across multiple disciplines within the same building.
Registration offices at the center allow parents to enroll children in structured after-school programs and specialized classes. The building is designed to accommodate groups with different age ranges and skill levels throughout the year.
Each room in the facility is dedicated to specific activities and equipped with tailored materials for those pursuits. This specialized setup allows children to develop skills in authentic learning environments designed for their chosen areas.
