Jockey Club Innovation Tower (JCIT) - Interior/Workshop

Occupied by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design and the Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation, the building houses a lecture hall, ten classrooms, design studios and workshops, as well as exhibition spaces and a communal viewing lounge. This building set against the backdrop of the boxy elevations of its' neighbors corresponds with the university's willingness to create a fresh urban structure in order to provide the environment with new energy. The tower's design also promotes a multidisciplinary environment by connecting the variety of programs housed within, thereby establishing a collective research culture where many contributions and innovations can feed off one another.
