The University 11 Part 1 With the exception of the postgraduate halls which have hundreds of single rooms, most student hostels provide shared accommodation in the form of twin-bed rooms. There are also a small number of special rooms for married students without children. The Faculty of Medicine operates the Madam S.H. Ho Hostel for medical students at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin, the teaching hospital of the Faculty, providing accommodation for 248 senior clinical students. Sustainable Development With Environment and Sustainability as one of our four strategic areas of research, CUHK plays a leading role in integrating sustainability into all facets of its teaching and research, community outreach, and daily operations. The University has established dedicated research centres such as the Institute of Environment, Energy and Sustainability to address sustainability issues with multidisciplinary solutions. As a leader in sustainability, CUHK houses the world’s first museum dedicated to the theme of climate change—the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change, and co-hosts the Hong Kong chapter of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, a United Nations initiative to mobilize knowledge institutions to promote practical problem-solving for sustainable development. With our decades-long commitment to building and maintaining a sustainable campus, we pursue sustainability targets and engage faculty members, students and staff through a wide array of campus-wide sustainability programmes to foster a green campus culture.
