It operates under the management of the Ministry of Construction. Its main campus is located in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City in addition to two branch campuses in Da Lat, Lâm Đồng province and Cần Thơ.
Beyond its primary mission of education, the university serves as a center for scientific research, consultation, and the implementation of key projects for both the government and private enterprises. Its team of experts and faculty members has participated in the realization of notable projects such as the Golden Bridge (Da Nang), Nguyen Hue Flower Street, and the Dong Nai Newspaper and Television station.
The University's predecessor was the Department of Architecture at the Indochina College of Fine Arts, established in Hanoi in 1926 based on the French educational model. After multiple stages of development and relocation, the school was re-established in 1976 under its current name, becoming a key educational institution for the construction and design sectors in Vietnam.
