BEIJING, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Beijing Normal University, which has been chosen by the U.S. delegation as its residence during the coming Olympic Games, has cordoned part of its campus for security concerns. The university administration divided the campus into two parts, according to a university source. The apartment buildings and stadium rented by the U.S. delegation have been cordoned by wires and every entry has been guarded. Even students and teachers at the university are not allowed in.

The U.S. delegation, said to have about 400 members, did not take residence in the Olympic Village but rented apartment buildings in the Beijing Normal University for six weeks at a cost of about 500,000 U.S. dollars.

The source did not release when the delegation will arrive but said that they will send staff to take charge of the apartments and stadium and then athletes will come.

Working staff of the U.S. Olympic delegation transport training equipments to their training headquarters in Beijing Normal University, July 19, 2008. Preparation for the arrival of the U.S. Olympic delegation has kicked off in Beijing Normal University, which will house, feed and train about 400 U.S. athletes ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Security measures are also tightened in the rest part of the campus. People other than students and the faculty are not allowed in and students are required to show their IDs to enter the campus.
