The school was constructed in 1998 with central government grants. It is located at the intersection of Nanhu St. and Suzhou Rd. in Urumqi.
The front of the main building is covered with dark blue glass windows in a design that is revolutionary in Islamic architecture.
The side building is essentially a simple rectangle, but with four protruding corners that add a sense of liveliness. The ornamentation seen at the top of the entrance arch is another unusual feature.
The design of the school is an example of how modern trends are integrated with the Islamic tradition in Xinjiang.
