The design features distinctive architecture, notably the drum-shaped T2 building, and unique façade designs for all structures. The project also includes 3 interconnected basements linked to existing subterranean structures, with each basement level exceeding 14,000 m2.

The construction timeline is projected at 24 months, split equally between the basement development and the superstructure phases. Newtecons, with substantial experience in basement construction and supported by investor, consultants, and local government, anticipates challenges related to concrete pouring, materials delivery, and vehicular access due to the extensive basement area and challenging site traffic conditions.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, Ms. Tran Thi My Dieu, Principal of Van Lang University, expressed her expectation for Newtecons to adhere to or surpass the projected timelines. Mr. Hoang Phuong Lam, Operations Director of Newtecons, affirmed his commitment to meet or exceed the established schedule.
