大运广场，2000年建成，坐落于西丽湖园区厚德楼与图书馆之间。其名源自第26届世界大学生夏季运动会。此届大运会志愿者口号“I’m Here”由我校电信学院学生龙淅创作，组委会在该广场举行了志愿者口号和吉祥物“UU”首发仪式；体育制服“韵舞灵动”由深职师生共同设计完成；学校承担了排球预赛场馆管理和赛事组织工作以及23个比赛场馆的志愿服务工作；我校学生李栋被誉为“互动哥”，并在闭幕式上作为志愿者代表接受鲜花。学校于2011年9月28日在广场举行“志愿者之校”建设启动仪式，广场至此得名“大运广场”，成为传承大运精神、激励学子担当的精神坐标。广场东侧舞台浮雕背景墙以三篇脉络描绘学校成长历程。
Completed in 2000, Universiade Square is located between Houde Building and the library in Xili Campus (Xili Lake Area). Its name commemorates the 26th Summer Universiade (University Olympia), which was held in Shenzhen in 2011. Long Xi, a student from the School of Electronic and Communication Engineering, coined the Universiade’s slogan: “I’m Here.” Both the slogan and the mascot, “UU”, debuted during a volunteer kickoff by the organizing committee. The game uniform, titled “Grace in Motion,” was designed collaboratively by teachers and students. The University oversaw the volleyball preliminary venues, organizing competitions, and providing volunteer services at 23 competition venues. Li Dong, known as “the Interaction Guy” by his peers for his enthusiastic engagement with spectators and participants, was honored as the volunteer representative to receive the appreciation bouquet at the closing ceremony. On September 28, 2011, the initiative “University Renowned for Volunteerism” was launched and the name Universiade Square was formalized. Ever since, the Square stood as a Universiade volunteerism spiritual landmark, inspiring generations of students to carry on this legacy. Three thematic panels on the stage relief backdrop on the east side of the Square depict the developmental journey of the University.
