Campus Facilities

The existing Waterloo Road campus is situated on a site of 2,200 
square metres which includes the Wai Hang Sports Centre located 200 
metres east of the campus.  The site contains 48,000 square metres 
of usable space and accommodates 11 major structures.

Oen Hall, the original site facility was opened in 1966 and houses 
general-use and specialist teaching accommodations and offices for 
teaching staff.  The Sing Tao Communication Centre houses the School 
of Communication.  A 1,400-seat Academic Community Hall was 
completed in 1978.  The Christian Education Centre includes a 400-
seat chapel and was opened in 1977; and the eight-storey Fong Shu 
Chuen Library, built in 1983.

A major Redevelopment Project on the Waterloo Road Campus was 
completed in 1990 adding the Science Tower which houses the 
specialist facilities and staff accommodation of the Science 
Faculty; the Sir Run Run Shaw Building currently housing the School 
of Business and central administrative and academic support 
services; the Yeung Shui Sang Building housing the Student Affairs 
Office and various student facilities; the Au Shue Hung Centre for 
Film and Television, an integral part of the School of 
Communication; and the Wai Hang Sports Centre.

The Shaw Campus, a new extension located on two sites, is only a 
five-minute walk from the existing campus.  The site is 8,800 square 
metres and provides 32,000 square metres of usable space.  The 
buildings will be occupied within the 1994-95 academic year.  Site A 
building complex comprises an Administrative Tower, a 600,000-volume 
library, the Centre for Educational Development and a unit of the 
Computing and Telecommunications Services Centre.  Site B complex 
houses the School of Business, the School of Continuing Education, 
lecture theatres, an international conference centre and various 
research centres of international standard, integrated with 
amenities for students and staff, and a sports hall.

Adjacent to the new campus extension is a sports stadium that is 
shared with two polytechnic universities and provides a football 
pitch, a running tract, tennis courts and 1,000 spectator seats.  
Baptist University manages the facility.

A second phase of construction will see the construction of an 11-
storey hostel for the purpose of housing visiting scholars, 
postgraduate students and some senior undergraduates.  It will 
accommodate about 400 persons with appropriate accompanying 
facilities.

Occupied in October 1994 are 113 new flats for eligible senior 
staff.  These are located in Fo Tan, Shatin.

this rare material collection there are over 4,000 rolls of 
microfilms and over 8,000 files of newspaper clippings containing 
information about China since 1950.

The Library maintains close connections with other major libraries 
in Hong Kong and overseas through computer networks.  An effective

libraries.  Through its online searching services, including the 
DIALOG and Profile Information, library users can access databases 
in the US and the UK.

The Library in 1985 became Hong Kong's first fully automated library 
and will soon use INNOPAC, a sophisticated automated system, to 
provide up-dated library services to users.

The Library will move to new facilities of about 6,500 sq. m. usable 
floor area on Shaw Campus in 1995.  There users will enjoy the 
effective services of the Library in a comfortable and spacious 
environment.
