NTU, with more than 500 buildings in Taipei, drew up multiple large-scale plans, including those for a large research park in the Chingtien St. area, a center for international academic youth exchanges on Kuling St., and a student dormitory on Chinhua St., lest these unused and underused school properties be reclaimed by the National Property Bureau.
對於在台北市擁有五百多棟宿舍的台灣大學，唯恐這些閒置、低度利用的校產遭國有財產局收回，校方擬定眾多大型計畫，包括在青田街一帶興建大型研究中心園區，在牯嶺街興建國際青年學術交流中心，在金華街打造學生宿舍等等，也因而招致有心保存青田街日式宿舍居民的抗爭。
