Irene Yu Library

The library was intentionally placed on the 5/F of the main building and featured with a glass wall because we not only want the external architectural view to turn out stunning but also like to reclaim the sky through the glass wall and capture the natural sunlight. That is because our school is an environmental friendly school; the ideas behind applying glass materials in wall construction, on one hand is to reduce the electronic lights during daytime, on the other hand is to allow cosy sunlight to flood in and provide users with a connection with the natural world.

With the additional storage space, the library offers resource for our students including eBooks, academic databases, and innovative programs that allow students to explore their creative inclinations, learn new skills, and apply their learning in innovative ways.

Students now rely on the Internet for more of their information than ever before. Libraries need big changes to remain relevant.  It is not enough to simply “be there” anymore. School libraries need to reach out to students and pull them in with programs geared towards students to foster creativity and imagination beyond just library collections. Therefore, a study room is allocated in the library for organizing library programs. These programs will challenge how students learn and explore new ways of engagement. By developing social skills with educational events and broadening their horizons with makerspaces and new workshop activities, students will learn, grow and connect with others in completely new ways in the future.
