As CU Medicine endeavours to advance medical education, research, and healthcare innovation, the construction of its Teaching-Research Complex is moving forward with the approval of the Legislative Council of the HKSAR and HK$3.3 billion in government funding. The new facility’s net operational floor area (NOFA) of 29,000 square metres seeks to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, expand research capabilities, and address changing healthcare needs.

The complex is designed with connectivity, student engagement, and cross-disciplinary cooperation in mind, providing adaptive, multi-purpose learning environments for up to 400 medical and 330 nursing students each year. Its specialised labs in bioinformatics, microscopy and animal research facilities will support approximately 1,000 researchers across 80 teams to facilitate advancements in personalised medicine, cancer management, genomics, minimally invasive surgery, and microbiome studies, among other fields.
