HKUST has entered into an agreement to acquire the entire space on the 4th floor of the United Centre, a Grade-A CBD office building adjacent to the Admiralty MTR station. This new site at the United Centre will serve as the new downtown hub for classes and student activities of the HKUST Business School, further enhancing the learning experience and convenience of the School community.
Marking a significant step forward in our vision to empower our community, this strategic acquisition will not only support the expansion of academic programs, but also greatly strengthen our capacity to deliver a broad spectrum of enrichment activities. With a gross floor area of 31,410 sq.ft., — much larger than our current Business School Central, this new downtown facility will offer a substantial upgrade in space, functionality, and opportunities.
Located above a major transport interchange serving four MTR lines, surrounded by key office towers, hotels, and shopping centers, the United Centre forms part of a vibrant and convenient urban hub. It also enjoys seamless access to nearby amenities in Central and Admiralty via a covered walkway. It will be an ideal location for programs tailored to working professionals, including MBA, Part-time MSc, DBA, and non-degree executive programs.
This new addition to the School’s campus infrastructure is set to unlock exciting opportunities for learning, alumni engagement, and outreach to industry partners, significantly enhancing our operations and impact within the business community, both locally and globally.
