and Design | |
| History: Vision | "the colleges... to maintain
their own identities... (and) different achitectural expressions" "a monastic layout of courts ... an air of permanence. "building around the square ... are part of an important group" | - The hilly landform has
created inconveniences imposed constraint to the the future development | "An identity is to be created

| History: Planning | - Parochial attitude to
be guarded against - Logical use of sites - Terrain of the ground: platforming - Decentralized recreation areas | - To reduce intra-campus
transportation: new teaching facilities at the lower level of the campus, Shaw College a residential campus. - Guidelines for development: to identify that which is valuable be kept, areas of high rise, high density, and low rise, low density, & a long-term rolling plan. | - Open space preservation
plan 1. Full protection zone (FPZ) 2. Contingent preservation zones 3. Limited development zones (LDZ) 4. Open development zone (ODZ) - Response from the Building Office | - Shifts in functional use
and population distribution - Overall functional user 3 options: A. Core plus satellite colleges B. Eastern extension of the core C. Focus on University station |
| Landscape | - Conserve and enhance major
landscape attributes and important heritage endowments - Views, vegetation, wildlife ecosystem, aquatic area to be conserved | |||
| Building | - Canteens, support facilities

1. North Campus 2. Ma Liu Shui 3. University Avenue 4. Chapel Gorge Natural Area 5. Chung Chi Basin - BO suggested FPZ, LDZ, ODZ. | - Upgrading the mail
- University station area - New gateway - Infill buildings - Incubator complex | |
| Transportation | - Primary roads
- Secondary Roads - Vehicular access - Stepped approaches and paths | - infra campus trnasportation
- linkage between different parts of campus - pedestrian circulation - Waste disposal, energy conservation and waste recycling - Parking problems | - North station: to serve
the Science Park could possibly benefit CUHK - Hill Climb Links: research and teaching buildings to form part of a linked chain of buildings - Parking blocks | |
| People Growth | - Maximize the potential for
growth at the most accessible site - Development of site B and site F - Establishment of the fifth college | - New College:
If new lands become available adjacent to the campus, the University might experiment with campus residential colleges |
