Annual Report 2007–08

7 引 言 Introduction Preparations for 3+3+4 In preparation for the reversion to the four-year normative curriculum in 2012, we continued to give top priority to projects and measures for revamping academic curricula and providing the requisite educational facilities and infrastructure. Special attention was given to the enhancement of general education and language proficiency. A new integrated and student-oriented IT system was being actively planned. Meanwhile, we continued and made good progress in recruiting highly qualified teachers to help meet demands from the new curriculum. Major capital projects in connection with the 3+3+4 curriculum were implemented. The planning and design of a Centralized General Research Lab Complex in Area 39 and the Student Amenity Centre were on schedule for submission to the Public Works Subcommittee of the LegCo Finance Committee. The construction of an Inte- grated Teaching Complex was refined to a two- project format out of consideration for economies of scale. The library extension project was revisited with a view to maintaining the integrity of the central campus landscape and the University Square during construction. I look forward to seeing all of these projects completed in time to meet the educational and research needs of our students and teachers in 2012. 的嶄新資訊科技系統，同時致力羅致優秀 教師，以配合新課程之推行；延聘工作進 展良好。 與三三四學制有關的各項重大建設亦已 開展。學生活動中心和位於三十九區地段 的綜合科研實驗室大樓之規劃設計，按 計劃如期呈交立法會財委會工務小組委 員會審批。新教學大樓則分為兩個項目進 行，俾符合經濟效益。此外，圖書館擴建 計劃亦經重新審視調整，確保施工期間大 學廣場和校園本部景致不受影響。誠盼各 項工程如期告竣，以利二零一二年新學制 順行實施，促進大學教研工作。
