A 25-metre short course swimming pool will be constructed in 2010.

The facility will utilise energy and water saving features and finishes in keeping with the environmental management principles adopted by RMIT Vietnam. Cable television and high speed internet connections will be available. A café and retail facilities are included in the complex.
