UM’s central library
The University of Macau’s new campus opened last August, when all departments, students and academic staff moved from Taipa to Hengqin. One year into its operations, the Times toured the new campus, including its library, the Faculty of Business Administration, as well as the residential colleges, in addition to other sites.
Planning for the Faculty of Design is ongoing, staff told the Times, adding that the university is still discussing whether or not to create a faculty or an institute.
The Hengqin campus is 20 times larger than the Taipa one, with a student population of up to 10,000.
Although UM’s main facilities are now fully operational, other parts of the university remain under development, namely its stadium. Other buildings will undergo maintenance work during the summer holiday period. CP
