The instructors dormitory build- ing has an open ground floor for recreational purposes and two floors each containing ten cells. Every cell has a "V" shaped balcony jut- ting out seawards like the prow of a boat.
All three buildings are floored throughout with mosaic tiling.
The high-ceilinged refectory on the ground floor of the central chapel building is served by a modern kit chen on the same floor. The panoramic sea views obtained through its tall. coloured windows could probably earn for it recogni tion as one of the most pleasant eating houses in Hong Kong - a recognition obviously not sought.
◄ The balustrade in the chapel. The open bronze gates and chancel rai- lings in the foreground were de- signed and crafted by an Italian priest who supervised the cons- truction of the College. The three altars, of five shades of Italian marble, are also his work.
