Important Note
Facial Recognition System for access control will be implemented in the Village CARE around the First Quarter of 2025. The current protocols would be strictly adhered to protect personal data and the privacy of staff, residents, visitors and outsourced workers of the Student Residence.

Undergraduate Halls
The Undergraduate Halls are composed of the North and South Towers with 4 Halls. They provide a total of 1,770 places for full-time UGC-funded undergraduate students. Due to the major external wall repair of the North Tower in 2024/25, the North Tower will be closed, and all 4 Halls will be located in the South Tower. The total number of student residence places will be reduced to 885.
