Mr. Pierre Huyard (CEO of Huni Architectes Asia-Pacific) and representatives from the design and construction units of the FPT Hue Education Complex also attended the event.
The project was symbolically initiated with a groundbreaking ritual, where representatives from FPT Edu, FPT University, FPT Polytechnic, PTCĐ, and FSchools ceremonially placed five stones representing the five main buildings of the complex according to “feng shui.”
Dr. Le Truong Tung (Chairman of the FPT University Council) remarked during the ceremony, “The groundbreaking event of the education complex in Hue is significant, as the facility is located in the ancient capital, a land associated with the cultural, historical, and academic traditions of our nation. The FPT Education Complex in Hue marks an important development milestone for FPT Edu as we implement our ‘Doubling every two years’ strategy.”
Dr. Le Truong Tung expressed hope that the FPT education project will become an architectural highlight and an important educational institution for both FPT Edu and Hue City.
Mr. Pierre Huyard (CEO of Huni Architectes Asia-Pacific), representing the design unit, expressed his joy and honor to collaborate on various FPT Edu construction projects in recent years. He also highlighted the distinctive and symbolic features of the buildings, which are designed for optimal functionality.
The complex includes five lecture buildings: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, a multi-purpose service building, a sports training and competition house, football fields, an outdoor central square, and other auxiliary structures.
These facilities are being built on over 8.68 hectares of land, with more than 2 hectares dedicated to construction and the rest for internal roads, green spaces, etc. This is considered a modern, well-equipped education complex that maximizes the learning and working experience in Thua Thien Hue.
The five elements inspired the project’s design, with the five lecture buildings arranged around a central stadium, spreading out like the petals of a golden apricot blossom.
The FPT Hue Education Complex is expected to meet the educational needs of approximately 20,000 students and create about 600 jobs for local people.
