The School of Public Health Building and Auditorium at the Prince of Wale s Hospital were completed and formally opened in June 2001. The Marine Science Laboratory and associated facilities were relocated to a site near the waterfront. Also completed during the year were the construction of a n extension to Hostel II of Shaw College, the renovation o f the Theology Building on Chung Chi campus, and the conversion of University Residence Nos. 5 to 9 into Postgraduate Hall Nos. 2 to 6. Construction of the new 300-bed student hostel on New Asia campus was progressing satisfactorily, but its counterpart on United College campus was afflicted with some technical and contractual problems. Also worth noting was the formal approval by the Tow n Planning Board in April 2001 of the planning application of the University's new teaching hotel. The assessment and improvement of slope stability was heightened during the year and no fresh landslips were recorded despite torrential rain. In recent years, an average of 12 slope features were investigated for stability eac h year and an equal number underwent improvement construction. The numbers are expected to increase in the coming years . In response to the University's green campus policy, considerable research was conducted on surface protection and soft landscaping of the slopes, including bioengineering and geo-fibre applications and extensive vegetation re- cultivation.
