With the completion of the University's new academic building (Academic 3), the College of Business has acquired over 40,000 sq. ft. of new spaces on three floors. Two of the floors are now being refitted to provide state-of-the-art teaching facilities aiming to enhance the learning experience of our students.

Executive Education Floor (14/F)

The floor is currently being fitted out and should be ready for the MBA, EMBA and DBA programmes by the end of September. This floor houses:

  • Two Business Seminar Rooms with seating capacity of 52 and 55.

  • Nine Case Discussion Rooms to foster group discussions exclusively for MBA students. (Rooms will be available for other students when there is no MBA class in session.)

  • An up-scale 25-seat classroom.

  • Business Resources Centre for staff to retrieve electronic databases and e-journals.

  • A student area for postgraduate students to rest, socialize, and build personal networks. The area can also be converted to a pre-function area for College level events.
