This project will help increase 12,800 square feet indoor space for student activities. It is planned that the two buildings will include a sky garden, a mini-theatre, a meditation room as well as multi-purpose facilities. The estimated budget of the entire redevelopment project is HK$200 million. The College Board of Trustees has committed a grant of HK$50 million and another matching grant of up to HK$50 million. The remaining HK$100 million is targeted to be raised.
