After the presidential elections in May of 2000, the Ministry of Education formally proposed that the ideals of the new schools movement guide the reconstruction of schools in the earthquake disaster zone. The hope was that top-level architects would be invited to design schools, work from which they been largely excluded previously.
二○○○年五月總統大選後，教育部從善如流，正式提出「新校園運動」的構想，作為災區重建校園的行動主軸，希望號召優秀的建築師投入他們以往很少參與的校園工程。
