CONSTRUCTION of a new campus for Lingnan College was inevitable when it was accredited to offer degree courses.
The previous campus in Stubbs Road was small and over-crowded, did not have the status expected of a university and could not offer additional land on which to build students' hostels.
P & T architects, backed by funding from the Government, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, generous benefactors and the Lingnan College alumni, ensured students would get an environment in which to develop their potential.
The site chosen on the northern outskirts of Tuen Mun adjoins the Castle Peak Road and backs on to slopes leading to Tai Lam Country Park.
The campus has a coherent architectural style. The main building and four academic blocks - one each for the faculties of Social Sciences, Arts, Business and the General Education Division - have lecture theatres, lecture rooms, audio-visual rooms, computer and language laboratories and project rooms.
Students have access to a centre with audio-visual equipment and a room equipped with PCs.
