Summary of approximate order of capital costs for expansion of Medical School at HKU

verified requirements)

(a) it seems that pre-clinical expansion at HKU will

have to take place partly on an over-developed existing site and partly on adjoining land which The cost of slopes away from the existing site. adaptations to existing buildings has been estimated at $2m.;

(b)

clinical development at Queen Elizabeth Hospital will undoubtedly be difficult. HKU has estimated a requirement for 148,000 sq. ft.: but as the assessment of costs at Shatin is based on an assumed requirement for 100,000 sq. ft. this

has been used in order to make valid comparisions.

The Shatin site is a flat and regular one and

has been calculated at $150 per sq. ft. plus $2m. for piling. Experience indicates that the Queen Elizabeth Hospital development would probably average at least $200 per sq. ft. The estimtate excludes a relatively small provision which would be needed for re-siting the animal house.

No estimate has been made of the time required to re-

At best it seems organise Queen Elizabeth Hospital in this way. unlikely to be less than four years i.e. very nearly the time required for planning and building a repeat version of Princess Margaret Hospital at Shatin.
