Reflecting on its early days, those who played a key role in its establishment including Mr. Chris TSANG, recalled how the location was carefully chosen to serve as a hub connecting academia and industry. Strategically situated in the heart of Central, it represented a significant step in strengthening the School’s presence within Hong Kong’s business district. Prof. KC CHAN and Prof. Steven DEKREY further noted that this Central premises served both as a brand-building initiative and a deliberate effort to position the School closer to the pulse of the city—one that has successfully set HKUST apart.
