Progress Report on 3/F Renovation
The renovation work on the 3/F, which will include a library, a small gymnasium and lounge, has been delayed because the Academy was requested to submit an Alteration & Addition plan for approval by the Building Department. The Plan was submitted in July and approved by the Department in September. Upon receipt of the “Consent to Commencement of Works” from the Building Department, the Academy will resume the project swiftly. The renovation should be completed in early 2003. Fellows will be informed of the progress regularly.
