2.13. New design techniques were introduced. Of particular note was the use of the diagonal grid reinforced concrete structure at the Police Training School, resulting in a column-free clear space of 48 feet × 32 feet.
Electrical Section
2.14. Apart from the design, specification and supervision of electrical and lift installations for all Architectural Office projects, the section assisted private architects engaged upon Government works, as well as approving electrical installations in schools built under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. 39 electrical installation contracts were valued at $4 million, which, together with 14 lift contracts costing $3.5 million and other work such as supply of domestic appliances, brought the section's expenditure to just over $12 million.
EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS
2.15. With the help of private architects and the continued use of standard plans wherever possible, steady progress was maintained on the construction of new schools. Four 30-classroom primary schools, one each at San Po Kong, Wan Chai, Fuk Wing Street and Ma Tau Chung, together with Yuen Long Middle School, Tsuen Wan Secondary Modern School, Kowloon Secondary Technical School and the new Northcote Training College, were completed, as also were extensions to North Point Primary School and to Ho Tung Girls' Technical School. At the end of the year construction, piling or site formation was in progress on four more primary schools; on three secondary schools at Perth Street, Tsuen Wan and Shau Kei Wan; on Belilios Public School and the combined Central District Primary School and Ellis Kadoorie School (Western); and, also for new Workshops for the Hong Kong Technical College. Drawings were in progress for a number of other schools of various categories.
Queen Elizabeth Hospital
MEDICAL BUILDINGS
2.16. The structural fabric and external finishings were virtually completed, as also was the greater part of the internal work. The complexity of the many services and the decision to include in the building a Medical and Health Services Department central laundry caused progress to be behind schedule.
