The Redevelopment of Dorset Campus
2005-5
Due to the development of ministries and the increasing number in students, CGST was using both the Devon and Dorset Campuses to the maximum. At the same time, the long term battles with white ants and the flooding problem required immediate improvement. When the property at 10 Dorset went on the market, the board, after thorough consideration, decided to purchase the property, redevelop the Dorset Campus, and sell the Suffork property to alleviate the financial pressure.
The budget for the Dorset Redevelopment is HK$ 60 millions. |

It is expected that the demolition of the Dorset Campus will be completed in early April. The requirement to preserve the designated heritage building that was attached to 10 Dorset buildings; necessitated extra care during construction until it is made as part of the new building. We request your prayers as we start the tendering process, choose the contractor, and to oversee safety during the entire construction.

We witness God’s abundant grace from the move until the demolition, e.g. the normal operation of the administration offices during the relocation to Devon Road. The extra resources from Dorset Campus were donated to students and churches of the alumni. Some people even returned with love offerings. We were thankful and offered praises to our Lord. Before our celebration of the new Dorset Campus, all activities including classes and small group discussion were held at Devon Campus. Our professors, students and staff will work together to deal with all arising matters.
