b. S H Ho Academic Building Skylight Repairs

CDMO would arrange major repair and maintenance works from time to time to improve building condition and life expectancy of the building. Skylights at the roof of SH Ho Academic Building (completed in 2012) has provided more natural light, an airy atmosphere and enhanced energy efficiency of the building. However, water egress problem was identified during the rainy weather and leakage has become more serious recently.  CDMO has initiated waterproofing repair works at the roof surrounding the skylights and the targeted completion of the works is March 2022.

c. Yuen Campus Naming Signs

The University was deeply honoured to have received a magnanimous donation from Prof. Francis Yuen and Dr Rose Lee, in support of the University’s strategic development.  To express the University’s sincere gratitude, it named its South Campus “Yuen Campus” in honour of Prof. Yuen’s father and Naming Signs were constructed to recognise their generosity to the University.  Yuen campus naming signs were completed in October 2021.
