A group of MSc EHS students joined a guided tour in Island House on 28 October 2022. Students visited the over one-hundred-and-fifteen-year-old official accommodation of the Chief Commander of the New Territories during the colonial times (Now as the Island House Conservation Studies Centre). Some architectural features were designed for efficient energy use and to merge with the natural environment. By venturing to the foot of the hill, students also had a chance to explore and learn about the organisms found in rocky shore, mangrove and sandy shore. Through the guided tour, students were able to discover the architectural history and story of Island House, and to gain some first-hand sustainable lifestyle tips that can be applied to our daily life.
