challenges o f the new decade. And to cater for such community needs, the University established the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business in 1990 to promote and organize management development programmes, coordinate and conduct research on major business issues and problems confronting the Asia-Pacific region ， and to provide consultancy services geared towards the specific needs o f its business clients. In an address made at the opening ceremony, Sir Quo-wei pointed out that Hong Kong's growth and expanding economy had created a continuous de­ mand for planning and marketing executives and The Chinese University had been doing its best over the last few decades to train the necessary manpower to meet such a demand. Recently, the Hong Kong Government had embarked on an ambitious plan to further expand the tertiary education sector, and the number o f students in the University would be increased from 8,000 in 1990 to 11,500 in 1994, of whom one sixth would be business administration students. Sir Quo-wei was therefore pleased to see that the Leung Kau Kui Building was completed just in time to provide the necessary teaching and research facilities for the staff and students o f the Faculty of Business Administration and the newly established Asia-Pacific Institute o f Business. The new building has been named after Dr. Leung Kau Kui, a local business magnate and philan­ thropist, to give recognition to his staunch support for the University's development over the years. □ Facilities VIP room computer laboratory office classroom NEWS 15
