The planned facilities include office blocks, lecture rooms, labs, an auditorium, specialized research spaces, a dining hall, various dining establishments, coffee spots, a student hub, a library, and accommodations for staff. The initial groundwork is slated to start in the middle of 2027, while the commencement of the first construction phase is planned for January 2026.
