Modern architecture, an old name.
Dadun Elementary opened in 2009 and quickly earned recognition for its campus design, winning the National Excellent Construction Award (Gold) in 2010. The school shares its name with “Dadun” (大墩), the old Qing-era toponym for central Taichung, evoking the city's historic core even though the campus itself sits in a thoroughly modern part of Nantun District.
大墩國小創立於民國98年（2009年），校園建築設計隨即獲得肯定，於2010年榮獲全國優良綠建築金獎。學校名稱與清代台中舊稱「大墩」相同，即使校園本身座落於南屯區極為現代化的地帶，仍喚起這座城市的歷史核心記憶。
