Utilizing Brownfield Site nearby

In support of the University’s expanding student intake and commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, Lingnan University has optimized land use and enhanced community engagement through strategic campus expansion and the adaptive reuse of brownfield sites nearby since 2008.

This long-term spatial strategy began with the campus development at TMTL 482, situated on Tuen Kwai Road. Building upon this foundation, the University continues to review nearby brownfield sites and extend campus facilities to accommodate the future development.

Most recently, the University transformed an unused shopping arcade situated on Tseng Choi Street, Tuen Mun. The shopping arcade located at a residential and commercial composite building podium had been vacant for over six years since 2019. The university has converted this unused shopping arcade, with a total gross floor area of approximately 39,176 sq. ft., into a campus extension featuring 10 lecture rooms, learning commons and study areas, providing capacity for more than 910 students.
