Hub Central Refresh
The most visited space at the 成人大片 has been revamped thirteen years after it was opened.
Student engagement in 2022 identified the types of spaces with the Hub that were most in need of updating and what new spaces would be useful in the future. Where possible, existing furniture has been cleaned or upholstered and reconfigured, with new zones created to promote collaboration and socialisation. 聽
