Signature Features
Historical Building Revitalisation
Opened in 1961, the former Fanling Magistracy was the first Magistracy in the New Territories. Along with the neoclassical architectural style with an emphasis on the balance in structure and proportion, key elements such as original facade, defendants’ carport, Court Room 2 are preserved after revitalisation.
Debate & Speaking Chamber
The former Court Room 1 has been transformed into a Digital Debate Chamber. Furnished with a state-of-the-art conference system, it comes with voting and interpretation functions comparable to the actual LegCo Chamber. By synchronising the Chamber’s videotaping system with the Leadership Institute’s online learning portal, the Chamber will provide participants with an innovative approach to learning the art of public speaking.
Mixed Reality Experience
By using mixed reality and augmented reality technology, culture and history will be combined to give participants a unique and challenging experience to better appreciate their surroundings.
Lodge
There will be a hostel block to accommodate visiting lecturers and participants from around the world. Positioned as a regional hub for leadership training, the Institute’s residential educational component allows participants the opportunity to develop closer ties and understanding as they live, work and study together.
