To achieve the academic vision of the University of Hong Kong and cater
to the change of the Education Programme, the Centennial Campus
of approximately 75,000m 2 GFA is being developed to house the
faculties of Law, Social Sciences and Arts together with a new Learning
Commons, a Lecture Centre and other supporting facilities.
The Centennial Campus Plan embodies the concept of sustainability
and reflects the vision of the University to promote and demonstrate
sustainability principles through green building. A holistic approach
to sustainability has been adopted for every aspect of design and
implementation:
Site Preparation
Site Constraints
The Centennial Campus is situated on a plateau at foot of the Lung
Fu Shan Country Park, to the west of the existing campus with three
historical buildings to be retained in situ and adaptively reused.
To preserve the natural setting of the Centennial Campus, the existing
Water Supplies Department reservoirs on site are being relocated to
make the site available for the new campus. The salt-water reservoirs in
form of tunnels are buried inside the hillside to the south of the site to
avoid extensive excavation.
Master Planning
Reliance on Mass Transit System and Pedestrian Access
To maintain a car-free campus and to create strong connections with
community, three entry gates namely the West Gate, the Central Gate
and the East Gate will link the campus to the MTR’s new University of
Hong Kong Station, with a convenient pedestrian network facilitating
barrier-free access to all areas of the Campus.
Adaptive Re-use of Heritage Buildings
The two historical staff quarters embraced by the surrounding
landscape will be retained and designed as the backdrop of the Entry
Plaza at the West Gate. The Elliot Water Treatment Works building may
house a “Water Museum” integrated into the overall campus design.
Architectural Design
Building Orientation
The layout of the blocks provides space between buildings to promote
cross ventilation. The long sides of the faculty buildings are oriented in a
north-south direction, reducing cooling and heating loads, maximizing
daylight and give protection from winter winds. Building depths are
optimized to a narrow enough width to maximize daylight to the
interior spaces.
Sustainable Façade Design
A sustainable Façade System with external sun shading devices will be
adopted to minimize solar gains with maximum daylight penetration
allowing the use of low energy cooling systems. The sunshade
configuration also functions as a light shelf reflecting daylight deeper
into the interior space. Pre-cast and off-site fabrication technology and
environmentally conscious construction methods will be used.
Comprehensive Tree-planting Program
A comprehensive tree-planting scheme will be undertaken to provide
a green environment with the introduction of 500 new trees planted
throughout the existing campus and the Centennial Campus.
Communal Green Spaces
Extensive landscaped communal spaces such as the landscaped rooftop
of the reservoirs and the new Lily Pond are integral parts of the Campus.
Three landscaped courtyards facilitate social interactions, air movement,
providing shade and weather protection. They are characterized by a
central theme of water features and landscaped with trees and shrubs.
Green Roofs and Sky Gardens contributing in the reduction of heat
island effect will be designed to be easily accessible.
