Prince of Wales Hospital, phase 2 (stage 1)

Construction of an off-site decanting building at Shatin Hospital

• To facilitate the decanting arrangement of the buildings proposed for demolition, i.e. Staff Quarters Blocks A, C, D and E, and Lecture Theatre Building, an off-site decanting building has been built at Shatin Hospital under the preparatory works. Non-clinical services, mainly offices, stores and some educational facilities, have been relocated to the decanting building while the remaining Staff Quarters Block B has been refurbished to house call rooms and overnight rooms of medical, nursing and supporting staff for the provision of 24-hour service.

• The Shatin Decanting Building has adopted precast façade units as external wall construction components in line with the ‘3S Concepts’ as stated in the ‘Guidelines for Enhancement of Productivity of Skilled Workers in Public Works Projects’ by the Development Bureau.

• The construction works for the off-site decanting building commenced in 3Q2018 and completed in 1Q2020.
