131. Superstructure of New Star Ferry Piers, Hong Kong & Kowloon. These piers are mentioned in detail in para. 239. In designing the superstructure, the main problem was to get the first-class passengers through one entrance and then to distribute them to any one of the four berths without crossing the flow of passengers leaving the ferry. This was achieved by planning the piers on two levels.
The first-class passengers enter by a central ticket hall on the ground floor between the two arms of the pier and then proceed via a staircase on either side to central gangways which extend the full length of the arms, giving access to the entrance ramps to the ferry. Passengers leave the ferry by ramp to gangways on the first floor which run along the outside edges of the pier, and go down by staircases directly into the street. The second-class passengers have similar entrance and exit passages on the ground floor of each arm, and although two separate entrances are required, no obstruction is caused by cross traffic during rush periods.
132. With the exception of the monthly ticket office, which will be in the Kowloon Pier, the design of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Piers will be similar. Public latrines and telephones, and offices for the Star Ferry Company are also provided.
Working drawings for the Hong Kong pier superstructure were completed by the end of the year.
133. New Kowloon City Pier. Sketch designs for the superstructure of this pier were prepared and passed to the Port Works Office.
134. Sookunpoo Stadium Pavilion. This pavilion, which forms part of the Sports Stadium (para. 230) will have covered seating for 450 spectators on the first floor together with public lavatories, refreshment rooms, and offices. On the ground floor will be the main entrance hall and four separate changing rooms each with showers, lavatories, rubbing room, and coach's room. This will provide maximum flexibility in the allocation of changing rooms during large sports meetings.
