Phase III

There is a need to further enhance the University's physical infrastructure to reach the next stage in its quest to become a world-class university — an institution that can help Hong Kong truly become Asia's world city. To achieve this goal the University Council endorsed a concept paper submitted to the University Grants Committee in April 2002. It proposes an expansion of campus facilities to accommodate around 10,000 students, in line with the Planning Committee's 1987 blueprint.

The development will include additional classroom and teaching space, a large lecture theater-cum-auditorium, and an 80% increase in laboratory space. Working on its first and second phase foundations, Phase III will provide a tangible expression of the visions and aspirations that guide the future development of the University.
