“Mushrooms” don new clothes, achieving millimeter-level precision

 

Breaking news from the Yangpu riverside construction site—Bilibili's global headquarters, the iconic "Mushroom Building," is finally revealing its true form! Latest on-site photos show that the 149.95-meter-tall N3 tower has begun installing its glass curtain wall, with individual Low-E glass panels gently ascending into the air via the ZSL2700 luffing jib crane—and precisely slotting into the mushroom-shaped, uniquely designed cantilevered structure of the building.

 

Fellow enthusiasts immediately spotted the hardcore detail: The construction team had to keep the gap between the curtain wall and the keel within a tight 8–12mm range, with verticality deviations no greater than 1.5mm/m—roughly the width of two strands of hair. And let’s not forget the precision of total station positioning combined with silicone sealant application, which truly earns it the title of “pixel-level modeling” in the architectural world! Is this just building a structure? No, it’s clearly etching ACG’s exquisite DNA into reality!

The Dimensional Universe Built with 19.8 Billion: More Than Just an Office Building

 

As Shanghai's largest internet industry park, this place holds plenty of "Bilibili-style romance":

 

Easter egg design The "Mushroom Building," designed by the U.S.-based firm Ennead, draws inspiration from Neverland in "Peter Pan" combined with the iconic power-up mushrooms from "Super Mario"—and has just clinched the 2025 IAA International Architecture Award. Its signature "Bilibi Ring" at the top offers a stunning 360° riverside view, making it an instant hit as the ultimate打卡 (check-in) spot!
Feature Critical Hit Within a 785,000㎡ space lies a 140,000㎡ commercial complex (with 100,000㎡ owned by Bilibili), an entertainment center capable of hosting manga conventions—and even includes designated areas reserved for IP pop-up shops and esports experience zones.
Ecological Magic Underground, a 415,000㎡ transportation network connects Meituan and Douyin headquarters, while an aerial walkway leads directly to the Binjiang Green Space, making the ultimate dream of "fishing at work while enjoying river views—and then strolling through exhibitions to catch up with your favorite UP Masters after hours" a reality.

From screen to reality: Bilibili brings its community into the building

 

What resonates most with Generation Z is the "cultural embodiment" design: an east-west "Bilibili Avenue" connecting the ACG Plaza, which may eventually transform into a "Tong Street" themed after *Full-Time Grandmaster*, recreating the vibrant atmosphere of the Dimensional Roaming Festival.

“The Mushroom Stem” shared space reserves an UP creator studio; once MCN agencies move in, you might just happen to run into the creative team behind *Chinese Folktales* (after all, this Bilibili-produced animation has already garnered over 320 million views)!
The curtain wall conceals "green cutting-edge technology"—drawing inspiration from photovoltaic glass technology used in similar zero-carbon buildings, it may even be able to power the campus simply by "sunbathing," reducing carbon emissions by hundreds of tons annually.

Not just the headquarters: The secret behind Yangpu Riverside’s “Science & Innovation Showbelt”

 

This building holds Shanghai's new ambition:

As the "spiritual stronghold of Generation Z," it lies at the heart of Yangpu's 3.8-kilometer-long "Science & Innovation Showbelt." By 2027, it will attract 3,000 new economy enterprises, driving the region's output value to a staggering 300 billion yuan. The area has already proven its strength through concrete actions: in 2024, Bilibili's graduation concert was recorded here, directly boosting hotel occupancy rates in Wujiaochang by 20% and generating over 100 million online views. Transforming from an old industrial zone into a vibrant cultural landmark, this site not only preserves historic architecture but has also nurtured an online entertainment industry chain worth 80 billion yuan—truly serving as a "Shanghai model" for urban renewal.

Spotting Guide: See You in 2026!

 

Currently, the project has entered the curtain wall installation and underground engineering sprint phase, with completion expected in October 2026. In the future, this space will not only serve as the workplace for Bilibili's 10,000 employees but will also become a pilgrimage site for ACG enthusiasts across the nation—just imagine enjoying stunning river views while binge-watching your favorite anime on the "Bilibili Loop," or snapping photos with popular UP Masters in the massive ACG-themed plaza! This 19.8-billion-yuan investment is definitely worth it!
