HKU SPACE has always been committed to the pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning, as well as the provision of a quality and comfortable learning environment for our students. After a series of renovations, our learning centres, including United Learning Centre, Kowloon East Campus and Island East Campus, have been revamped in September this year. With the advent of the new academic year, we hope that our teachers and students will enjoy a new, vibrant and contemporary campus life.

At the same time, the School headquarters has been relocated from the T.T. Tsui Building of the University of Hong Kong to the 12/F of United Centre, Admiralty. Some of the administrative units, including Finance and Human Resources, have been relocated to the new office in Admiralty Centre Office Tower 20/F, while the Academic Affairs and Quality Assurance and Enhancement Teams have been relocated to the Kowloon West Campus in the hope of enhancing the efficiency of the administration and teaching of the School through the consolidation of resources. A simple yet grand moving-in reception was held on 4 September 2023 at United Centre to mark a brand new stage of the School's history.

United Centre: rich soil for nurturing talents

In order to provide a more spacious and comfortable learning environment, the revamped United Learning Centre has expanded to the whole 6^th floor of the United Centre.

The new design of the area is based on the concept of flowing water, symbolising the School's 66-year-long history of nurturing and cultivating talents. The white lobby together with the undulating ceiling has enhanced the sense of space and light.  The  modernity of the entrance helps to permeate an atmosphere that is reminiscent of a bright future for the students. The long corridor is designed in flowing curved lines, which not only reduces the sense of constraint and confinement, but also helps to establish a simple and quiet space.

Kowloon East Campus: a unique design to emphasise vitality

In keeping with the times, the new lobby of the Kowloon East Campus is set in the theme of “High Technology and Sunshine”, emphasising youthfulness and vitality while upholding elegant designs.

Soft natural light streams in through the entrance and meets the canopy lighting in the lobby, creating an open and welcoming effect. The geometric lines on the walls present a dynamic visual style, shaping a contemporary atmosphere. The featured seat  adopts  curved lines in a simple and elegant design, building a comfortable social space. We have also enhanced the campus’s facilities to include a large LED screen and other student facilities such as a bottle filler for better hygiene of our students. 

To facilitate modern teaching for Engineering programmes, we have merged three classrooms into a tailored Engineering Teaching Lab with electro-static tables and related equipment, a raised floor, and respective electronic devices and presentation AV system, enhancing the student learning experience.  Bathing in abundant natural light, the meeting room on the 12/F is decorated with light-coloured materials. Together with the dark-colored furniture and an original ceiling design, the interior has become more stylish and professional.

Island East Campus: connecting with technology and innovation

The design of the glass doors of Island East Campus helps to bring in natural light and create a transparent and open visual effect. The polished blue door frames, together with a large electronic screen on the wall showing the latest short videos about the School, not only reflect the idea of tapping into modern technology, but also embodies dynamism and vitality.

The design concept of the new lobby is based on innovation, comfort and modernity. The streamlined front desk at the reception is full of contemporary design. With different layers of dark and light colours, visually expanding the sense of space and modern atmosphere, it exudes a feeling of serenity and balance for the visitors.
