Abstract
Located north of Clearwater Bay on a mountainous site, the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology is a fully self-contained campus with educational, administrative, recreational and residential accommodations for students and staff. Ronald Lu & Partners were retained to design two additional student dormitories on the hill facing an athletic track, with clear views north to Sai Kung and the sea. The student halls would be accessed via an internal road from the top of the campus. Due to its northern orientation, the buildings are protected from the strong southern sun; maximum ventilation is incorporated into the design for fresh sea breezes to provide natural cooling.
