a library, and staff and student common rooms

The remaining block has an assembly hall with a covered play area,

canteen facilities on the ground floor and minor staff quarters on the

upper floor.

The design of the institute is similar to the Kwai Chung Technical

Institute which will also be completed in time for the academic year

beginning in 1975.

-

Two other technical institutes being planned one in Cheung

Sha Wan and one in San Po Kong - are scheduled to admit students in 1976

and 1977 respectively.

Plans and locations for the other three of the seven additional

technical institutes in the expansion programme are being actively studied

by the government.

Tentative proposals are for them to be built in the new towns

of Sha Tin, Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan.

When fully developed, each of the new institutes, including the

one in Kwun Tong, will turn out about 500 full-time and 1,300 part-time

day students annually. Courses will also be run for evening students.
