Featuring a structured grid layout, the design has a square campus segmented with rectilinear modules, known as pavilions, reported Dezeen.
The original plan envisaged a village-inspired theme, where areas were segmented into different clusters.
A translucent canopy that figured in the original design to shelter the structures continues in the new plan as well. However, the canopy seems like a tent than a dome.

The campus also features a pedestrian pathway that winds through the structure, thereby linking indoor and outdoor spaces.
