New Campus Development - Design Features

HKMU's Proposed New Campus

A Hub for Community Health and Wellness

Design Features

The new campus will incorporate 4 signature design features – Sustainability, Health, Innovation and Property Technology (Prop-Tech) to establish the health-promoting environment and adopt cutting-edge technology to foster building wellness. Moreover, we are committed to sustainability practices that minimise our environmental impact. Therefore, by embracing Sustainability, Health, Innovation and Prop-Tech, our campus will be at the forefront of modern design, creating a harmonious and forward-thinking environment for all.

Prop-Tech

SUSTAINABILITY

  • Implement high-efficiency lighting fixtures and integrate lighting controls to minimise power consumption.

  • Adopt renewable energy source, such as photovoltaic panel to supplement power generation.
  • Use of water-efficiency plumbing fixtures and appliances to reduce water consumption.

  • Implement rainwater harvesting systems and greywater recycling systems to promote water conservation and sustainability.
  • Implement waste segregation and recycling program to actively promote and encourage waste recycling practices.

  • Employ careful site planning and management practices to minimise construction waste.
  • Use of sustainable and locally sourced materials for construction.

  • Minimise human exposure to potentially harmful chemicals throughout the construction and operation phases of buildings.
  • Incorporation of green spaces into the campus design to provide recreational spaces and enhance biodiversity.
  • Provide electric vehicle charging infrastructure to reduce reliance on fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emission.

  • Promote the utilization of public transportation.

HEALTH

  • Effective ventilation systems that ensure a steady supply of fresh air.

  • Air filtration systems to remove pollutants and particulates.

  • Humidity control systems to maintain optimal levels and prevent mold growth.

Air Quality

  • Water filtration systems to ensure access to clean, safe drinking water.

  • Regular testing and maintenance protocols to prevent contamination.

Water Quality

  • Introduce skylights and other architectural features to optimise the influx of natural daylight.

Natural Light

  • High-quality insulation to maintain a steady indoor temperature.

  • Advanced HVAC systems that allow for individual control over temperature and airflow.

Thermal Comfort

  • Sound-absorbing materials and layouts that minimise noise pollution.

  • Quiet zones for focused work or relaxation.

Acoustic Comfort

  • Use of low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) materials to reduce indoor air pollution.

  • Preference for natural, non-toxic, and allergen-free materials.

Materials and Products

  • Incorporation of natural elements like plants, water, and natural materials.

  • Views of nature, green spaces, and outdoor relaxation areas.

Biophilic Design

  • Design elements that encourage movement, like stairs, walking

  • On-site fitness facilities or easy access to recreational activities.

Physical Activity

  • Availability of fresh, nutritious food options in cafeterias or vending machines.

  • Accessible kitchen or dining areas to encourage home-cooked meals.

Healthy Eating

  • Furniture and workspace design that supports proper posture and reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Ergonomics

  • Spaces for relaxation and stress reduction, such as meditation rooms or quiet spaces.

  • Design elements that promote a sense of community, like communal areas and open-plan layouts.

Mental Health

INNOVATION

  • Adopt integrated control to the classroom facilities and appliances in order to enhance the overall student experience.
  • Keep you connected and updated to the latest campus information.

  • Reserve your facilities and equipment through mobile apps.
  • Use of motion graphic to help you to navigate our campus.

  • Display real-time information to facilitate the staff and student.
  • Enhance educational experience by accessing online resource and multimedia learning material.
  • Optimise energy usage within a building by data-driven analysis on occupant usage pattern.

  • Enhance comfort and occupant satisfaction by precise control and monitoring of environmental conditions.

PROPERTY TECHNOLOGY (PROP-TECH)

  • Adoption of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR & AR) offers enhanced visualization, new opportunities of safety training and risk mitigation, and wider stakeholder engagement.

VR & AR Technology

  • Implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to increases control of the construction process and facilitate accurate planning and coordination, leading to fewer errors and reworks.

BIM Building Model

  • Use of Drone Technology for site inspections, surveying, and progress monitoring to provide real-time data and improve site safety.
