INCREASING ACCESS TO UEH'S RESOURCES AND FACILITIES FOR THE
COMMUNITY

Over time, UEH campuses, including Campuses A, B, N, and Vinh Long Branch, have been open to
welcome visits from businesses, partners, alumni, and high school students through programs such
as the Campus Tour and Alumni Tour. UEH continues to expand spaces for community
engagement and support. This includes providing innovation spaces for startups at Campus V and
the Vĩnh Long branch. The UEH Maker Space – a creative hub for design, assembly, and
woodworking enthusiasts – regularly organizes workshops and training sessions for the
community. Moreover, English Zone, an outdoor English park at UEH, has become an ideal venue
for students from various universities to practice English skills and engage in cultural exchange. The

UEH E-History Digital Heritage Room at Campus A frequently welcomes domestic and international
visitors to learn about the university’s history, traditions, and development orientations. Notably,
UEH has launched the “Sharing Creative and Development Spaces” program, offering free or
reasonably priced space for individuals and organizations to hold events, training sessions,
meetings, and seminars.

TOWARDS GREEN, SUSTAINABLE, AND ECO-FRIENDLY CAMPUSES

As a University with 13 campuses in central districts and Binh Chanh District, UEH recognizes the
importance of effectively managing energy, wastewater, and waste within their campuses to
minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable development. Solar power systems with
a total capacity of over 509,000 kWh have been installed at Campus A, B, and N to efficiently utilize
renewable energy. In 2024, these systems produced 470,000 kWh of electricity, successfully
reducing 1,270 tons of CO2 emissions – equivalent to planting 12,000 trees. These efforts
underscore UEH’s resilience in its green transformation journey, making it a beacon of sustainable
education.
