Designed by OMA, the new campus for Chu Hai College of Higher Education covers 28,000 m2 of education facilities for its 4,000 students. The building features both pure geometric forms with the two slabs connected by a ‘mat’ that contains library, cafeteria, gym, and lecture theatres. Maximized for natural ventilation, the slabs contain flexible space for classrooms, studios, and offices. As mentioned by the campus selection committee, the design has a strong visual identity for the college, flexibility in use and an environment conducive for multidisciplinary education.
