Conceptual Design of the West Lane Academic Building (Creative Humanities Hub)
Construction works of the superstructure of the West Lane Academic Building (Creative Humanities Hub) began in January 2023. Concreting completed on 12th June 2023. Internal building services installation, interior fitting out works, underground utilities connection and backfilling works are in progress now in anticipation of handover for statutory inspections scheduled in December 2023.
To support sustainability, a food waste decomposer has been installed near M Canteen since December 2022.
Food waste is converted into carbon dioxide and wastewater and is then discharged into the sewage pipe before passing through a grease interceptor within 24 hours. There are water sprinkler systems inside to remove the odor and so no odor will be released to the environment.

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. To support campus sustainability and to keep the entrances safe and clean, CDMO has set up wet umbrella dryer since June 2023 in the entrance of S H Ho Academic Building and Lee Quo Wei Academic Building to reduce use of disposable plastic umbrella covers.

To resolve pressing space needs, a temporary office was completed at 1/F Lee Shau Kee Complex and in use since October 2022. CDMO will continue to explore better space use and enable space planning to be more optimal and desirable in the time ahead.
