Shanghai Construction Group, which has completed landmark projects such as Shanghai Disneyland Resort and Shanghai Tower, is responsible for the construction of the first phase project of the Yungu campus.
The second phase of the campus, estimated to cover 125 mu, will mainly be facilities such as playgrounds and pump houses.
To speed up construction, the university has set up a command office to handle work such as land surveying and budget estimation.
