Resource material on PADS to be transferred to UC library
The entire collection of resource material in the Airport and Port Projects Resource Centre (APPRC) in Causeway Bay will be transferred to the Urban Council's Reference Library in the City Hall with effect from next Monday (June 24).
Starting on July 1, the resource material will be available to the public in the Reference Library instead of the Resource Centre presently located in the East Exchange Tower at Leighton Road.
The resource centre was set up by the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office (NAPCO) in 1991 in the French Mission Building in Central for the public to know more about the airport and port development projects. It was later relocated to its present premises.
The centre has a collection of 1,060 volumes in 584 titles, with the majority being technical and planning papers, including consultancy reports, reports on feasibility studies and other research papers commissioned by various government departments for the Port and Airport Development Strategy (PADS) study and projects.
The relocation of the resource materials to the Urban Council's Reference Library will enable the public to continue having access to the information on PADS.
The Reference Library is located on the tenth floor of the City Hall High Block in Central. The library is open throughout the week, and is closed on Sunday afternoons and on public holidays.
"Compared with the resource centre's present location, the reference Library is much more convenient to those seeking resource material about the PADS," said a spokesman for NAPCO.
Enquiries can be made to NAPCO's Community Relations Division on 2829 6282.
