Wong & Ouyang together with Sasaki Associates, Inc. have won the Ideas Competition for the University of Hong Kong (HKU) Main Campus and Centennial Campus Master Plan, and have been awarded the consultancy contract to further develop the proposed master planning concept.

Designs from four architectural consortia were submitted to the University, and the master plan by WO / Sasaki was selected because of its “consciousness of environmental, ecological, sustainability and heritage issues, efficient use of space, effective integration and cost-effectiveness”.

WO will further develop the master plan and help address infrastructural issues and develop the brief for the next stage of the detailed building design.

The detailed design for the Centennial Campus will be finalised in 2006 /2007. Site formation work will commence at the end of the year and construction will begin in 2008.
