The University of Hong Kong (HKU) Pokfield Campus has been awarded the Gold Award for Best New Development at the MIPIM Asia Awards 2025. This follows its earlier success as the University’s first campus project to achieve WELL v2™ Precertification. These accolades affirm HKU’s commitment to building a sustainable, healthy, and smart campus.
Located at the junction of Pokfield Road and Pok Fu Lam Road, the Pokfield Campus – a key component of HKU’s strategy to cultivate an international learning environment – features a new academic complex for the HKU Business School, a multi-purpose sports complex, staff residence, and an interactive academic complex and conference centre. Addressing the site’s unique steep terrain, the design harmonises architecture with nature, offering over 9,000 square metres of greenery to significantly optimise both liveability and energy efficiency.
