Life at HKU SPACE Our Stories

In the 2025/26 academic year, the number of students at Community College (CC) exceeds 13,000, and with an additional 3,000 students at Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College (HPSHCC), HKU SPACE stands as the largest provider of sub-degree programmes in Hong Kong. 

To meet students’ developmental needs, two new learning centres—Kowloon East Exchange (KEE) and Kowloon East Kingston (KEK)—have been established alongside the existing Kowloon East Campus (KEC) and CITA Learning Centre. These expanded facilities will provide students with more comfortable learning environments with innovative designs. 

A fresh look for the campus 

KEC, occupying the largest area within the Kowloon Bay Campus at approximately 168,000 square feet and spanning 14 floors, features 42 classrooms, 13 special venues, and 5 computer labs. 

The campus entrance lobby has been revamped with a sleek and sophisticated streamlined seating layout, creating a welcoming social space. We have also enhanced the campus’s facilities to include a large LED screen and other student facilities. The new Engineering Teaching Lab now boasts electrostatic tables and related equipment, a raised floor, and a presentation AV system, enriching the student learning experience. 

The CITA Learning Centre comprises 23 classrooms and 2 computer labs. Renovations include new furniture and an upgraded air-conditioning system in the student common room and common areas. 

Two new learning centres 

Scheduled to commence operations in January 2025, KEK is conveniently located a mere three-minute walk from KEC. 

Covering approximately 24,000 square feet, KEK features a modern and welcoming open service lobby. The brown baffle ceilings and grey carpet lend layers to the space, making it immediately inviting. With 8 classrooms, 1 computer lab, and 2 student common rooms, KEK is designed to promote a relaxed atmosphere conducive to teaching and learning. The student common rooms are bright and tranquil, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows that provide unobstructed views. Light grey vinyl flooring and light-coloured timber-laminated study tables create a serene and focused study environment. 

The newest addition, KEE, opened in September 2025, conveniently located within walking distance to KEC, KEK, and CITA. 

KEE's reception counters are prominently located, and the wooden finishes create a harmonious impression. Two large display monitors are installed at the reception area: one serves as an interactive way finder to simplify navigation, while the other displays the latest course information. Featuring 10 classrooms, 1 computer lab, and student common rooms, KEE's classroom design utilises a varied colour scheme to accentuate each room's functionality, resulting in a diverse, stylish, and comfortable learning atmosphere.
