16. Extensions to Kai Tak Terminal Building. The existing Terminal Building, though scheduled to be demolished on completion of the new Airport, had become so inadequate that some form of extension was essential.
17. In September, work was commenced on minimum extensions and improvements. These involved alterations to the existing structure to provide passengers assembly space and a reception hall in which the air-line offices are situated; together with a restaurant open to both passengers and visitors. In addition, a new building was erected, connected to the existing Terminal by a covered way, to provide baggage inspection facilities, offices for Immigration and Health Officers, and passengers waiting rooms and lavatories.
18. When these extensions had been completed in January, it was decided that still further enlargement was necessary. Plans were subsequently drawn up and estimates prepared for increasing the size of the passengers waiting rooms and lavatories, and providing a covered verandah overlooking the harbour.
Education Department
19. Sha Tau Kok Primary School. This school providing nine classrooms, two handwork rooms, covered playground and six houses for married staff was referred to in last year's report. The school was completed in September.
