The University Square
The University Square is a landscape design for a university campus in Hong Kong. An underused area was transformed into a pedestrian friendly lawn and open space of 2,200 square meters, measuring about 60 by 36 meters. The lawn forms a central meeting point and improves circulation between campus blocks. Two existing mature trees are kept as focal points and framed by custom timber deck seating that was hand crafted on site. The two tier decks support informal gathering, rest and large campus events.
The University Square Lawn by Campus Development Office has been identified as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. The University Square Lawn won the Iron A' Design Award in Landscape Planning and Garden Design in 2025. The A' Landscape Planning and Garden Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition which recognizes outstanding design of landscape designs, public parks, residential gardens, urban plazas, campus designs, green roofs, waterfront developments, Eco-Parks, botanical gardens and more.
