Annual Report 2007–08

76 Capital Projects In the year under review, encouraging progress was also achieved in various 3+3+4 capital projects. The projects of the Student Amenity Centre and the Centralized General Research Lab Complex (Block 1) in Area 39 were on schedule for submission to the Public Works Subcommittee of the LegCo Finance Committee. The year also saw some revisions in design being made to preserve the environment. The proposal of a 10-storey University Library Extension Building was revisited and changed to a four-storey building with a basement floor extending eastwards under the Forum and the Gate. The Integrated Teaching Complex was reverted to two projects. The two integrated buildings will be located at the site of Pine, Bamboo and Cypress Lodges and the third building at the car park across Station Road. The target completion date of the two projects will remain 2012, though further approval has to be sought from the University Grants Committee.
