31. The original project to provide only offices, workshops and quarters for the Electrical and Mechanical Sub-department of the P.W.D. had to be abandoned after working drawings were well advanced.
32. Preliminary sketch plans were prepared for a building to house the Electrical and Mechanical Department, a Roads Office Depot, a Drainage Office Depot and to provide a ten-storey block of offices for various Government departments.
District Branch Office, Yuen Long
33. Sketch plans for this scheme were well advanced by the end of the year. The proposal is to build five buildings on a filled site on the west side of Yuen Long.
34. One building will accommodate on the ground floor a Post Office and branch Treasury, stores for Waterworks and New Territories Administration, and on the first floor offices for New Territories Administration, Education Department, Births and Deaths Registry, Medical Department and a Court Room.
35. The second building will have a clinic on the ground floor with three consulting rooms, dental surgery, dispensary, casualty ward and waiting rooms; on the first floor a maternity ward and ancillary rooms and accommodation for nine nurses and one sister will be provided.
36. The remaining three blocks will consist of quarters of varying grades having accommodation for both married and single officers.

Technical College
37. The workshop and classroom block is fully described in the 1955/56 Report. Construction of this part of the project began in February 1956. On 2nd December H. E. the Governor opened the College.
38. The scheme for Keswick Hall was developed. The accommodation includes a main entrance foyer with a staff room above, a multi-purpose auditorium to seat approximately 725 persons, a dining hall and kitchen. Provision has been made for the addition of students' common rooms and enlarging the dining hall. Tenders for the building
