SHANGHAI – China has another entry when it comes to buildings that look suspiciously like something else: a 12-story university block strongly resembling a giant toilet.
Architects have had a field day in China in recent years with a number of outlandish designs springing up across the country.
The latest is a building on the campus of the North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power at Zhengzhou in the central province of Henan.
The provincial government spent 86 million yuan ($13 million) on the building, which is for university graduates looking to start their own enterprises, the Henan Daily said.
Despite the nature of the university, the building was not designed to resemble a toilet.
But internet users have mocked the “toilet building,” which was completed last year and has an oval annex that could be the toilet bowl attached to a larger rectangular block that critics say looks like the cistern.
