The facilities listed above will be put into the CSE Booking System in due course, and you can view their availability via this link and book the facilities through our booking hotline (28195450 / 39103568 / 39103569) or booking system via HKU portal as normal. Booking rules and regulations of CSE would apply, with priority going to student groups first, then individual users. There will be CSE staff on duty at the venues to handle booking check-in and offer assistance to users as and when necessary.
However, we regret to inform you that it has been difficult to get sufficient substitute sports facilities in the vicinity of the University that are of a provision level and capacity equivalent to a purpose-built sports complex like Flora Ho Sports Centre, and as such there will be a reduction of CSE’s indoor sports facility provision and time slots for the interim period. As a consequence, we expect the booking availability of these substitute facilities to be rather tight at times, and your understanding and patience during the transition period will be highly appreciated.
Meanwhile, to facilitate the transportation between the main campus and West Island School, a new shuttle bus service connecting these two places is now available for students and staff.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at csehku@hku.hk. Thank you.
Regards,
Centre for Sports and Exercise, HKU
