The University has always strived to advance campus development plans to alleviate the shortage of spaces for teaching, research and accommodation at the University. The new Academic Building at No. 3 Sassoon Road has come into operation since June 2022, providing classrooms, lecture theatres, laboratories, student amenities, offices and supporting facilities. The enhancement of technology-enabled teaching facilities and development of the medical campus on Sassoon Road will gradually be completed in 2023 and 2024 to cope with the increase of healthcare-related students and the rising need for research and teaching facilities. A 250-place hostel at Mui Fong Street, Sai Ying Pun, has been in operation since mid 2022 whereas two other new hostels will be completed in 2023 and 2024 respectively. These hostel projects, supported by both donations and the Hostel Development Fund of the UGC, will provide a total of 2,400 student resident places. The Tech Landmark on University Drive will serve as the new hub for research, technology as well as innovation. The iconic new stateof-the-art academic, cultural and sport facilities complex at the Pokfield Road site will include the Business School, a residential complex as well as learning spaces and conference facilities, and will be completed in stages in the few years ahead. The University is planning to fund the construction costs under some of its major capital projects by means of mainly external borrowing supplemented by internal resources. Future repayment of the external borrowing will be financed by income streams to be contributed by the capital projects. Apart from the capital projects, the University is also undertaking a number of physical alterations, additions and improvement projects, including laboratory enhancement and upgrading of various buildings, and provision of interactive classrooms and learning spaces. 校舍基建與改建、加建及改善工程 本年度用作發展校舍基建與改建、加建及改善等工程 項目的入賬收益合共三億元(上年度為四億一千八百 萬元),當中包括政府資助金共二億七千七百萬元(上 年度為一億九千八百萬元)及捐助款項共二千三百 萬元(上年度為二億二千萬元)。相關支出方面, 本年度的支出總額為二十億零四百萬元(上年度為 十六億二千六百萬元),其中十八億零六百萬元(上 年度為十四億六千六百萬元)用於校舍基建項目,以 在建工程、租賃物業裝修或已完成校舍入賬,其餘 一億九千八百萬元(上年度為一億六千萬元)則用於改 善工程項目,並以營運費用入賬。 大學一直致力改善校園的發展規劃,以應付大學在教 學、科研及住宿等方面的需求。 坐落於沙宣道三號的醫學院新學術大樓已於二零二二 年六月落成,提供課室、演講廳、實驗室、學生設 施、辦公室和配套設施。沙宣道醫學院校舍配備可配 合科技應用的教學設施,將逐步於二零二三年及二 零二四年竣工,以應對醫療相關學科學生人數的增 加,以及對研究和教學設施與日俱增的需求。位於 西營盤梅芳街的一幢設有二百五十個宿位的宿舍已於 二零二二年年中啟用,而另外兩所新宿舍將分別於二 零二三年及二零二四年落成。由捐助及教資會撥款成 立的宿舍發展基金共同資助的宿舍項目,將提供共 二千四百個學生宿位。 位於大學道的Tech Landmark科創新地標項目將成 為研究、科技和創新的新樞紐。蒲飛路校園集先進學 術、文化和體育設施於一身,內有港大經管學院、教 職員住宿設施、學習空間、會議設施等,將在未來幾 年分階段落成。 大學計劃主要透過外部借款,輔以內部資源,為部分 重點基礎建設項目的建築費用提供資金。從基礎建設 項目中所得的收入流將於日後用作償還外部借款。 除了校舍基建項目,大學正進行一系列改建、加建及 改善工程項目,包括優化各學術大樓的實驗室,以及 提供互動教室及學習空間。
