A New Era Begins 1975-78

programmes introduced after the next triennium, 1978-1981. While it will take two to three years to complete the construction of all the buildings listed, it can be envisaged that the University will enter an age of consolidation. The emphasis may have to be shifted from new construction to maintenance and improvements. To accommodate the staff concerned with the physica l plant, an Estates and Maintenance Building will be constructed on the hillside between the Postgraduate Hall and the University Sports Field. The Buildings Office will be located on the top floor of the 4-storey building. The rest of the space will be used as storage of furniture and other equipment. Carpenter, electrical and air-conditioning workshops will be situated on the ground floor. The garden section will be accommodated in a single-storey building to be erected on the opposite sid e of the main building. The project will be started in late 1978. "Many Hands Make Easy Lifting" In reviewing the development of the campus building programme, the University cannot but express a profound sense o f gratitude to its friends and patrons, be they individuals or organizations, for a generous donations to help the young University to achieve within a short period of ten years what other institutions may take decades to accomplish. The mountain has indeed been transformed. This remarkable feat could not have been accomplished without the continuing staunch support of the Hong Kong Government, the UPGC, and the timely and generous assistance of interested friends. 94
