The New Academic Block
In order to meet the development of The Community College and to provide
high quality teaching and learning facilities to our students, the New
Academic Block was built inside the University campus and put into full use
in 2005. The new 6-storey building of 10,406 square meters is situated next
to the Amenities Building and Social Sciences Building. It is equipped with
lecture rooms, computer and language laboratories, a science laboratory,
arts studios, a Christian activities
centre, a multi-purpose room, a student function hall and common rooms. It
is also fully covered with Wireless Local Area Network and fully furnished
with fibre and CAT6 cabling system, which gives better support on high
bandwidth applications like video and multi-media software applications.

indices and other databases that enable them to find books, reference

500,000 books, journals and media resources. The automated library system
provides access to catalogues at other university libraries in Hong Kong and
overseas. Extensive networks have also been established to connect Lingnan
