The Jockey Club Global Graduate Tower offers a total of 504 bed spaces for the University’s research postgraduate students. The eight-story tower not only adopts the most energy-efficient label 1 electrical appliances, but also water-saving faucets and washing machines. The Tower has its own rainwater harvesting system for irrigation, and can generate energy and hot water with the solar thermal panels on its rooftop. It helps save an estimated 45 per cent of annual water consumption and operates at an energy level 26 per cent lower than buildings of comparable floor area and occupancy rate. It is also a barrier-free facility with a purpose-designed bedroom for students with physical challenges.
