Story

This project involves mainly the construction of a ten-storey TRC at the northern side of CUHK’s campus, providing the Faculty of Medicine (Faculty) additional teaching and research facilities on campus to meet the increasing enrolments of medical and nursing students. The new building is designed to go “green” and “Advancing Net Zero” so as to enhance health and well-being of their building users. With the aid of the latest technology, the building design could achieve an environmentally friendly entity by adopting various “green” measures from all possible aspects including macroscopically the site design, the efficient use of energy down to its building details like the adoption of green products and installations, etc. as mentioned above.
