Temporary offices erected in hospitals’ car park
To facilitate construction work under United Christian Hospital’s (UCH) expansion plan, UCH administration, human resources and other support staff will move into temporary offices that will be set up in the open and underground car park at the hospital and in a three-story temporary building that will be erected in the car park at Tseung Kwan O Hospital (TKOH).
The decanting is scheduled for completion by the end of this year, following which four old UCH buildings will be demolished and replaced by a new Ambulatory Block.The temporary office facilities will reduce the number of parking spaces available at both hospitals.
Dr Joseph Lui, Cluster Chief Executive of Kowloon East Cluster, has taken a number of steps to ease staff concerns in this respect, including attending staff forums and participating in an informational video to provide updates on progress and ask colleagues for their support and patience in the cluster’s efforts to create an enhanced environment for both staff and patients.
