HKU Centennial Campus to Benefit the University, The Local Community and Hong Kong

15 Feb 2006

 

In line with HKU's vision to be a top international global research-led university, in celebration of its centenary in 2011 and to prepare for the four-year curriculum, HKU plans to develop a Centennial Campus adjoining the existing Main Campus to the west. To help the University develop an innovative master plan and concept design for the Centennial Campus and Main Campus, four architectural consortia, each comprising a local and an international architectural firm, are contributing to the ideas generation process.

Mr Jack So, Chairman of HKU Campus Development and Planning Committee, Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, Vice-Chancellor and Professor John Malpas, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, will introduce the strategic initiative of the HKU campus development plan, the "University District" concept and the architectural conceptual design models. The press conference will be a prelude to the roving exhibitions on the Centennial Campus project to be held in the University and public venues.

Members of the press are cordially invited to attend the press conference. Details are as follows:

Time: 3:00 p.m.
