ONE MORE FLOOR FOR HOSPITAL
****
AN ADDITIONAL FLOOR IS TO BE BUILT ABOVE THE TWO-STOREY CLINICAL BUILDING AT QUEEN MARY HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE OFFICE SPACE AND LECTURE FACILITIES.
BESIDES BEING THE REGIONAL HOSPITAL FOR HONG KONG, QUEEN MARY HOSPITAL IS ALSO A TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR THE MEDICAL FACULTY OF HONG KONG UNIVERSITY.
IT PROVIDES CLINICAL TEACHING FACILITIES FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS, INCLUDING LECTURE THEATRES, SEMINAR ROOMS, LABORATORIES AND OFFICES IN THE PROFESSIONAL BLOCK AND THE CLINICAL BUILDING WITHIN THE HOSPITAL COMPOUND.
AS A RESULT OF STAFF INCREASES IN RECENT YEARS, BOTH BUILDINGS HAVE BECOME OVERCROWDED.
WORK ON THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN ABOUT 12 MONTHS.
A $2.42 MILLION CONTRACT FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL 720 SQUARE METRES OF FLOOR SPACE, HAS BEEN AWARDED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL OFFICE OF THE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
