The roof span is currently the largest among university stadiums in Chongqing, and the tensioned beam-like structural system is currently applied for the first time on a Chongqing stadium.” According to Chen Ding, General Manager of Sports Center Project of Chongqing University of China Construction Eighth Engineering Division Corp., Ltd., the construction of the curtain wall on the facade of the main arena of the Sports Center has been mostly completed, with the beautiful curved metal roof complementing the combination of the white aluminum square tubes on the facade. At present, the indoor electromechanical and fire-fighting pipelines of the main arena have basically completed, the interior decoration is still proceeding, and the paving of the floor and walls is being carried out on a large scale.

The swimming pool adjacent to the main arena is a diamond-shaped structure, symbolizing the undulating waves. The metal roof of the swimming training area is in the finishing stage of the project. The pool decoration has been measured and placed, and the installation of the pool equipment is underway.
