The Satellite Remote Sensing Receiving Station Phase II became fully operational since April 2010. Across the border, the reinforced concrete structure of the Shenzhen Research Institute Building had been completed. Internal fitting out and services works was in progress with the target date of completion by the second quarter of 2011. Protection of Natural Watercourses The Chung Chi Stream and Lake Ad Excellentiam at the Chung Chi College campus are famous for their ecological value because they are habitats for certain aquatic animals and plants. Since the water flowing through the Chung Chi Stream comes from Chek Lai Ping and the storm drains on Tai Po Road, the water quality is greatly affected by its upstream sources. In 2009, the University Safety and Environment Office implemented a comprehensive water monitoring plan to monitor the water quality of the Chung Chi Stream and Lake Ad Excellentiam, and the discharge of the construction sites along the catchment. In response to Chung Chi College’s decision to build its new chapel on the stream next to the Theology Building, the University hired an external consultant in 2009 to conduct a study, which covered both dry and wet seasons, upstream, downstream, and areas adjacent to the construction site, so as to assess the potential impacts associated with the works. 前重開，而大學圖書館擴建工程預計在二 零一一年底至二零一二年初完成。 晨興書院與善衡書院的上層結構工程已 經開始，土建框架預計二零一零年底完 工。和聲書院的地盤平整及地基工程亦按 照預定計劃進行；伍宜孫書院的設計及營 造合約已於二零一零年六月批出，預計於 二零一二至一三年度完成。敬文書院的設 計工作正如火如荼進行。 位於澤祥街的鄭裕彤樓已於二零一零年五 月竣工，工商管理學院與全球經濟及金融 研究所已陸續遷入。衞星遙感地面接收站 第二期工程亦已完成，並自四月起開始全 面運作。 香港中文大學深圳研究院大樓的土建工程 已經平頂，內部裝修及設施裝置工作正全 面展開，計劃於二零一一年第二季啟用。 保護天然溪流 崇基學院校園的小橋流水和未圓湖是水 生動植物棲息之所，具生態價值。小橋流 水源自赤泥坪和大埔道的雨水渠，水質很 受上游水質影響。二零零九年，大學安全 及環境事務處實施全面水質監察計劃，監 察小橋流水、未圓湖和集水區一帶地盤流 出污水的水質。 另外，崇基學院決定在神學樓旁的小溪 上興建新教堂，校方於二零零九年聘請顧 問，評估工程可能產生的影響，研究範圍 涵蓋雨季、旱季、上游和下游，以及地盤 鄰近地區的情況。 大學圖書館擴建工程 Construction of University Library Extension
