Opening of EdUHK North Point Study Centre
The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) held an opening ceremony today (26 September) for the North Point Study Centre, which will provide additional and convenient learning space for staff and students.
The seven-storey study centre – with approximately 3,700 square metres in gross floor area – was formerly a primary school premises. The converted study centre houses 12 classrooms of various sizes with multi-media equipment, an executive conference room, a learning commons, and a lecture theatre which can accommodate over 100 people. An elevator and barrier-free passageways have been purposely installed to enhance accessibility.
The centre also includes an AI education laboratory, which is open to in-service teachers and related stakeholders for training courses. It is set to become a base for promoting AI literacy in the community. Taking inspiration from the colours of the University’s logo, the building exterior walls are adorned with vibrant orange and green.
The opening ceremony was presided over by EdUHK Council Chairman Dr David Wong Yau-kar, former Council Chairman Professor Frederick Ma Si-hang, President Professor John Lee Chi-Kin, members of Council and the senior management.
Dr Wong expressed his gratitude to the Education Bureau and different sectors of the community for their unfailing support. He said, “Apart from our Tai Po campus and Tseung Kwan O Study Centre, we now have a presence in North Point, providing greater convenience for staff, students and in-service teachers.”
Playing an instrumental role in the project during his tenure, Professor Ma said, “It is my pleasure to have contributed to EdUHK’s development. The additional learning space will surely benefit faculty and students, and I wish EdUHK every success in the future.”
Professor Lee paid tribute to the project team for its relentless effort in facilitating the pedagogical needs of staff and students, as manifested in the design of the exterior walls, interior renovation and equipment installation. He encouraged university members to make good use of the centre for learning and teaching activities.
