Design plans incorporate local features of the Hengchun Peninsula (恆春半島), drawing on elements such as Dajianshan (大尖山), Frog Rock (青蛙石), coastal bays, and ocean waves. The campus will also include design features to address strong seasonal winds and sun exposure, including windbreak structures, shading, and improved ventilation.

Authorities continue to stress that feeding wild monkeys contributes to the problem and are urging the public to avoid direct interaction.
