A Contemporary Hub
Envisioned as one of the most expansive and contemporary hubs in HKU, the new Pokfield Campus will serve as an academic-cultural- sports complex comprising a dedicated building to host the HKU Business School (Phase 1), a university guest house,  junior professoriate staff quarters (Phase 2), and an iconic teaching and learning complex (Phase 3). The existing space and facilities for sports will be redeveloped and upgraded to be fully integrated into the complex with an indoor swimming pool, sports halls, a running track and more. 

Apart from cultivating an innovative environment for teaching and research, the new campus will also emphasise global collaborations and outreach. Expected to be ready and functional by late 2023, the Business School at the Pokfield Campus will be designed to facilitate an immersive environment for HKU students to connect with industry experts across the globe.

This is an exciting milestone for HKU Business School. Building this modern home will greatly enhance the growth and development of the Faculty, and will enable the Faculty to achieve its vision to become a leading globally impactful institution of business and economics education.

P&T, lead planner for the Pokfield Campus, was selected through a public competitive exercise, involving voting by students, staff, alumni and a panel of experts within and  outside the University. The firm  was chosen over four other finalists for its outstanding proposal regarding parameters such as functionality, sustainability and environmental friendliness, integration with the Main Campus and cost-effectiveness.

The overall design concept will manifest three core pillars, including academia, technological advancement and environmental sustainability of this day and age, and beyond.
