As an important component of Shougang Park, the N1-2 Transfer Station of  the No. 2 Building carries a unique historical mission. During its  industrial manufacturing period, it was an ancillary facility of the No.  1 Blast Furnace. During the Winter Olympics in 2022, the Olympic  Committee chose to be based here. At present, the transfer station has  been updated to become an efficient business space, a tangible result of  the harmonious coexistence of the industrial heritage sites and the  city where they are located. It now provides a broader range of office  options for the enterprises in Shijingshan District.

The design of the transfer station adopts both new and old elements,  keeping the trace of history while integrating the quintessence of  modern infrastructural craftsmanship. Tianche Plaza which is located on  the south side was originally the granulating basin of the No. 5 Blast  Furnace. During the renovation, the industrial relics like a railway  track were preserved to create a space for public activities against the  surrounding landscape.

The N1-2 transfer station features floor-to-ceiling glass panels on all  sides, ensuring superb natural lighting. It is equipped with two  high-speed passenger elevators, which guarantee highly efficient passing  through inside the company. The 2nd and 3rd floors are linked to the  dining building, providing employees with convenient corridors to the  latter. The meeting room on the top floor has the top-quality multimedia  equipment, comfortable chairs, and big desktops. The company logos are  hung on the west side of the top floor, visible to all vehicles passing  from west to east on Fushi Road, thus providing the brands with  continuous and extensive exposure. The top floor has a terrace, which  serves not only as an additional space for outdoor activities but also  an ideal choice for a single-company office.
