Bay completed before these two, or after these two?
The training complexes Sir, they were
finished before these were completed; in fact they started and were
finished before these were completed.
Were the Institutes at Kwai Chung and Kowloon

MR CHEONG:
In relation to the other two complexes,

was it through an architectural competition, or through an appointed

DTEIT:
At that time we had a list again of
architects but there was no competition; we selected upon a basis of interviewing the architects concerned. But the point was Sir, I
think there we were on slightly better grounds because we knew more what we were trying to achieve which is basically a simple industrial

we had been told that we had to improve the standard of accommodation
and the standard of facilities inside; there was noone in Hong Kong
who we knew and could identify positively, who could do this
particular work, and that is really the reason why we had a compet- ition, to see what was in fact available, and this is done I think in other cases with similar institutions the City Polytechnic and
the Hong Kong Polytechnic I think, just to quote two in this particular field.
MR CHEONG:
Personally I feel it is rather unfortunate
that in the light of experience of your having two major complexes
built in Kowloon Bay and Kwai Chung by appointed architects, that the
standard of Technical Institutes were to be compared with the
