Shanghairesidents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in Octobermight have astonished at an

unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and

relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.

In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the

five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down,

imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.

TheLagenaPrimary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously

relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a

number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.

Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new

location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The

project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used inShanghaito relocate a historical

building.
