Library Extension

摘要

The new campus design signifies a highly linked and connected institution. It looks into the compact urban condition of Hong Kong itself for direct inspiration and epitomizes a miniature city, dense and connected. The new library extension connects the existing university library, Tin Ka Ping Building and the new school building across Library Boulevard. The extension functions as a connector to de-emphasise the old boundaries between the library and other facilities. A diverse range of learning spaces is organised around the atrium, with discussion rooms scatter around the university library. Open spaces are provided near the discussion rooms. The extension also serves as a plaza, a welcoming space for learning and gathering.
