Chung Chi College has occupied the 59-acre lower plateau in the southern sector since 1956. United College moved from its old location on Bonham Road, Hong Kong Island to new buildings on its 19-acre campus site in December 1971. This comprises the western half of the upper plateau at 450 feet elevation. Buildings for New Asia College are under construction on an equal 19-acre site comprising the eastern half of this same plateau. New Asia College is scheduled to move from its present buildings on Farm Road in Kowloon to the new campus in mid-1973. The three constituent Colleges will then be grouped around the Headquarters and Central Activities of the University which forms the approximate centre of the campus on the mid-level plateau which is 330 feet high. The Benjamin Franklin Staff/Student Amenities Centre, funds for which were donated by the American people, was completed in December 1968 and was used initially to house the Central Offices of the University. The second building, completed a year later, was a block of minor staff quarters for Chung Chi College personnel. Work was also started in 1969 on the following projects which were subsequently completed as shown: Completed A Sewage Treatment Plant June 1971 The Institute of Chinese Studies Dec. 1970 The Vice-Chancellor's Residence Oct. 1970 In 1970, the following additional projects, included in the first quadrennium capital building programme, were started: University Project Completed Water Supply System Oct. 1971 Electricity Sub-Stations Oct. 1971 Electrical Distribution System Dec. 1971 Street Lighting Dec. 1971 Administration Building Sept. 1971 Major Civil Engineering Works Feb. 1972 Science Centre (Main Block) Mar. 1972 Science Centre (Lecture Theatre Complex) University Librar y Health Centre Sept. 1971 Staff Quarters Phase I (14 flats) Nov. 1971 Staff Quarters Phase I I (38 flats) May 1972 Marine Science Laboratory May 1971 Minor Staff Quarters (Joint) (36 married flats, 3 8-man dormitories) Aug. 1971 Chung Chi College Road Widening Phases I I and I I I Mar. 1971 Dining Room & Student Amenities Feb. 1972 Teaching Block/Librar y Nov. 1971 United College Administration & Arts Buildin g Dec. 1971 Commerce & Social Science Building Dec. 1971 Library/Teaching Building Dec. 1971 Staff/Student Amenities & Dining Hall June 1972 Student Hostel (2 wings, 125 students each) Dec. 1971 Six new projects were begun in 1971, two of which have been completed as indicated below: University Projects Completed Telephone System Oct. 197 1 Sports Field Phase I Jan. 1972 Swimming Pool New Asia College Administration, Fine Arts & Journalism Building Library Building Arts & Commerce Building Three more projects were started early in 1972 and are still under construction: University Project: Staff Quarters Phase III (38 units) New Asia College: Staff/Student Amenities Student Hostels — 2 —
