hostel accommodation for 120 warders, dining room, and a total of 42 quarters, together with a parade ground and children's play area.
3.61. Site formation was started for a new Training Centre at Dragon's Back on Hong Kong Island. When completed this centre will provide training facilities for 170 boys and will include classrooms, workshops, assembly/mess hall, sick bay, laundry, offices, staff club room and boys' residential units together with senior and junior staff quarters.
3.62. Four cottage-type dormitory units, similar to those built at the Women's Prison, Tai Lam, contained in one two-storey building, were completed at Shek Pik Training Centre on Lantau Island. These units were built to replace accommodation in four bungalows originally built on the beach which were badly damaged or destroyed by typhoons in recent years.
Resettlement and Low Cost Housing
3.63. During the year under review 25 domestic resettlement buildings containing 113,000 individual units were completed and a further 23 buildings containing 99,000 individual units were under construction. (An individual unit of accommodation means a unit of living space designed for one adult). In addition, fourteen estate schools, each containing 24 primary classrooms, were completed and construction of ten similar schools was in hand.
3.64. All the resettlement blocks now under construction are of the Mark V type, incorporating flats of three different sizes, each with its own private W.C. water supply and balcony. A new design, known as Mark VI and providing an increase in the size of individual units from the current 24 square feet to 35 square feet per adult has been approved and contracts were signed at the end of the year for the first of these new blocks to be built at Pak Tin and Ham Tin.
3.65. Work was in hand on site formation or piling on several sites and these, together with sites already formed but awaiting consolidation or other work, will provide for the building of accommodation for some 138,000 people.
3.66. Five estate welfare centres and five estate administration buildings were under construction in various locations and one estate welfare centre was completed at Ham Tin.
