Overview of the Compensation and Site Clearance Agreement Signing Ceremony
Attending the ceremony were representatives of the Party Committee leadership and the People’s Committee of Trung My Tay Ward, along with the University’s Board of Rectors and a large number of officials and lecturers from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade.
Speaking at the ceremony, Meritorious Teacher Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hoan, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the University, shared: “The University has always cherished the goal of building an internationally standard university, where learners can access a modern, synchronized, and comprehensive educational environment. However, under the current reality, space conditions remain limited and have not fully met the needs of learning and research. This continues to be a major concern for the leadership collective, who even, to some extent, feel apologetic toward the learners.”

During the ceremony, Mr. Le Van Tan, representing the University, presented an overview of the project’s scale, implementation progress, and the plan for compensation and site clearance. The information shared clarified the implementation roadmap, demonstrating the University’s thorough preparation and long-term development orientation for the coming period.
With an investment scale approaching USD 1 billion, the project is expected to become one of the strategic milestones of Vietnamese higher education in the coming decade (Pre-concept version).
According to the plan, the project will be implemented over the period from 2026 to 2030 on an area of approximately 25.97 hectares, with the goal of developing a centralized, integrated, and modern university model capable of accommodating 35,000 to 40,000 students in the future.
Under the master plan, the project will be developed on a total area of 25.97 hectares and consists of two main components:
In addition, the project includes key infrastructure items such as:
Overall, this investment structure brings the total project value to approximately VND 19.849 trillion, equivalent to nearly USD 1 billion, laying the foundation for the development of an integrated and articulated educational ecosystem spanning from general education to university level within one unified campus.
In terms of design, the university complex is planned in a synchronized manner with five high-rise buildings (including 2 basement levels and 20 above-ground floors), creating a modern architectural identity while optimizing functional use. Among them, the 20-storey Administration Building will serve as the central hub for governance and academic activities, while the functional blocks will be flexibly arranged to support teaching, research, practice, and innovation.
The project also integrates key components such as a modern dormitory area to meet students’ residential needs, together with a resettlement area of approximately 4 hectares, ensuring harmony between the development of educational infrastructure and the stabilization of local residents’ lives.
Beyond merely expanding in scale, the project also aims to establish an integrated and articulated educational ecosystem, where learners can develop continuously from the general education level to university within the same international-standard environment.
The entire implementation schedule is built on the principle of ensuring compliance with legal regulations on public investment, while also requiring close coordination between the University and local authorities at every stage of execution. Compensation, site clearance, and resettlement activities will be carried out in parallel, safeguarding residents’ rights and creating a solid social foundation for the project.
The signing ceremony was conducted in a solemn atmosphere, reflecting the unity, determination, and strong commitment to close cooperation between the two parties.
A highlight of the program was the signing ceremony of the compensation and site clearance agreement between Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade and the Project Management Board of Trung My Tay Ward. Representing the two sides at the signing were Meritorious Teacher Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hoan, President of the University, and Mr. Phan Cuong, Director of the Project Management Board of Trung My Tay Ward.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade presented a commemorative gift to the representative of Trung My Tay Ward as a gesture of appreciation and an affirmation of the sustainable cooperative relationship between the two sides in the coming time.
The ceremony concluded in a solemn atmosphere, marking the beginning of a new stage in the University’s development. From these first steps in the site clearance process, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade is gradually turning its vision of a modern and synchronized educational space into reality, thereby contributing to the improvement of training quality, promoting scientific research and innovation activities, and moving toward better serving the learning and development needs of students in the future.
