Projects in Progress

Ever since the earliest institutional establishment in 1888, Lingnan University (abbreviated “LU”) has excelled in providing Liberal Arts Education. To support the tertiary education needs of Hong Kong, the Campus of LU was completed in the 1990s. Under the University’s Strategic Plan 2022-28, LU will progress into a “Digital Future” with focuses on artificial intelligence and data science. The School of Data Science was established in 2024 which is a pivotal step towards enhancing innovation and technology research and teaching at LU. The new School will be the premier incubator for data innovation in Asia, nurturing leading data scientists through an interdisciplinary curriculum that fosters ethical, critical and strategic thinking.

To meet the spatial need of growing needs, additional floor space within the LU Campus is required to accommodate the rising demand for academic and research activities and to provide adequate facilities for research endeavours.

This new building will be accommodated with lecture halls, multi-purpose room, office, laboratories and exhibition area. It will foster the exchange of knowledge as well as a space for collaborative activities to incubate start-up and develop technology, facilitating cross-disciplinary research and training for researchers and students. In addition, an exhibition area will showcase the collections and history of LU and will allow the staff and students to gain a deeper understanding of the historical and academic significance of the University which will in turn foster their sense of belonging.
