Project Design

The new academic complex will be designed with age- and environmental-friendly elements, and equipped with various living facilities (e.g. eating place, clinic, podium garden) and activity spaces. It will not only enhance the community environment, but also facilitate connection and interaction with the community.
The new complex will have an appearance matching surrounding environment. HKMU also plans to build a footbridge across Fat Kwong Street (with accessible lifts on both sides) to connect its Main Campus. Upon completion, teachers, students and nearby residents can use the footbridge to pass through Fat Kwong Street, which would greatly reduce the flow of pedestrians on the road and relieve the tense traffic situation. The completion of the new building will provide the public with a safe and convenient footbridge walkway connecting Fat Kwong Street to Sheung Shing Street and also the new Government Complex under planning.

Sustainable Building Designs

The new campus building will integrate numerous sustainable building design elements such as:
  • Increase building permeability to maintain air flow to the surroundings

  • Provide open corridors and footbridges to reduce the need for air conditioning;

  • Establish sky gardens to bring fresh air into the building;

  • Bring in natural light to reduce electricity consumption;

  • Provide green podium garden, plant trees and beautify the environment;

  • Preserve the biggest trees to preserve the collective memory of residents.
