The design appreciates the traditional CUHK building elements and will present them in modern architectural language through a series of three linked buildings for the College Campus. Enclosed by the three wings is a central piazza which aims to create a sense of community and identity for a small college of 300 students. The buildings adopt a tripartite section approach with the living accommodation on top, the dining facilities, administrative, teaching and conference facilities occupying the base, and the student communal facilities and activities floor sandwiched in between. Careful considerations have been given to the facilities location and distribution for a fully-residential and communal dining college. |

Campus Location and Design
Located at the Campus Circuit North, the College buildings will blend in with the lush and green surroundings. Apart from living quarters for the undergraduates, the buildings will house dining facilities for the entire membership of the College, and purpose-built space for tutorials, seminars and other collegiate activities. The construction of the College campus will begin in the fall of 2011, and is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2013. Before the completion of the College buildings, students will be provided with accommodation in I-House.
