On 9th September 2017, the second-phase construction of Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM) officially started, signaling a new stage in the development of the campus.

With an investment of RM 284 million, the first section of the second phase spans approximately 111,503 square meters and includes four student hostels, one canteen, one center for international academic exchanges, and one performance pavilion on the lake.

The first two buildings to be completed in Phase II - a 16-storey student hostel and a canteen -will be ready for operation by the end of September 2018. The rest of buildings in Phase II are expected to be completed in April 2019, within 19 months.

The first section of Phase II project will considerably extend the housing capacity of the campus and eventually allow the campus to cater to around 7,500 students.
