1. Continuation of the Operation of Main Library Coffee Shop (Starbucks Coffee)

In anticipation of the delay in the opening of the new catering outlets at the Main Campus in the new academic year, an arrangement has been made to continue the operation of the Main Library Coffee Shop, currently run by Starbucks Coffee, until May 31, 2019. The new catering concept at the same location, which is to be delivered by the new caterer Sodexo, will commence its operation in August 2019. A new price list equivalent to 30% off the existing downtown retail price of Starbucks will apply commencing August 23, 2018.   

2. Interim Catering Provision in September 2018

As the new catering outlets are still undergoing renovation by the new caterer and will not be able to open in time at the beginning of the academic year, temporary food counters will be set up at five different locations in the Main Campus, Centennial Campus and the Sassoon Road Campus. Operation of the temporary pop-up food counters will end progressively following the opening of the new catering outlets. The locations and opening hours of the counters are listed as follows. Please refer HERE for details of the pop-up counters and the updated food offers.

Together with the temporary solution, the provision of services at the existing catering outlets will be enhanced to meet the high demands at the beginning of the semester.  It is foreseeable that catering outlets in different locations would become very crowded and users may need to spend extra time for lunch during the peak hours.  We appreciate your patience during the interim period.

Fong Shu Cheun Restaurant will be temporarily closed on August 4, 2018 (Sat) for maintenance work conducted by Estate Office.
