The Sports Complex includes a sports pavilion, indoor swimming pool, fitness room, training hall, table tennis room, badminton hall, squash courts, dance room, classrooms, multi-purpose room, and physical fitness laboratory, which is a new addition where students and staff from the Faculty of Education may conduct research. In the future, the sports pavilion will be able to host basketball, volleyball, handball, korfball and 5-a-side futsal competitions.

For instance, there are 14 basketball courts and 10.5 tennis courts (0.5 being the training court) on the new campus, compared to 1 and 2 respectively on the old campus.

There is also an Olympic-standard 50-metre heated indoor swimming pool and a beach court. “The sports facilities on our new campus are first-rate in the Greater China region,” says Dr. Patrick Chan Ping Cheung, director of the Office of Sports Affairs. “If we look at universities in the United States, Taiwan, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao, perhaps UM is one of the few universities where you can play beach volleyball, beach soccer, beach handball, and beach korfball on the campus.” Environmental awareness is evident in many aspects of the design, including the outdoor sports facilities. For instance, the soccer pitch uses natural grass instead of artificial turf, which is not only more environmentally-friendly, but also helps to reduce the severity of sports-related injuries. The ubiquitous sports facilities may also help to foster a culture of health and fitness.
