Library Space Enhancement Project – Update
In response to further delay of government funding support for the Library Extension and Revitalization Project to expand and renovate the entire Library building, the Library has identified the following four areas for immediate refurbishment to accommodate users’ needs. Thanks to the University’s funding support, enhancement works are completed or in progress in these areas.
Reference Collection Area (3/F) – Redesigning for More Study Space
This aims to convert 50% of shelving space to study area by relocating less demanded reference materials to G/F Discussion Zone (Room L010). The Project was completed in Mar 2014.
Former Library Exhibition Area (P/F) – Converting into Multi-purpose Learning Space
New door installation and addition of power outlets have been completed, and the new furniture for collaborative study will be available soon.
Media Services (3/F) – Converting into Multimedia Commons
Audiovisual resources will be provided on open stack for browsing. A digital and multimedia production area will be created, enabling students and faculty to integrate digital and print resources into their multimedia assignments, projects, teaching materials or research output, with service support from Library staff. Building works will commence this summer.
24-Hour Study Centre (G/F) – Expansion and Refurbishment
The Centre will be enhanced with a variety of flexible furniture and sufficient power outlets to facilitate group study. More discussion rooms with enhanced visibility as well as computer and projection equipment will be provided to support discussions and presentation preparations. Building works will commence this summer. |
Resulting from the above enhancement work in Research Enhancement Centre, a total of 43 seats have been added, including 8 computer workstations on P/F and 24 study seats plus 11 computer workstations in 3/F Research Enhancement Centre.

Subsequent to Mr Alex Lui’s art exhibition in the Library last year, we are grateful for Mr Lui’s support for continuing to display some of his artworks on various floors of the Library. The 48 pieces of artworks drawings present various scenes of Hong Kong and China in the form ranging from architectural drawings, Chinese ink paintings, water color and pastel paintings to charcoal and pencil drawings and sketches.

In addition, pictures featuring the Library’s historical development since 1970s are now presented at the front staircase of various floors. From these pictures, you will find the changing outlook, facilities and setting of the Library over the past years.
