In 2021, The following major works were completed with a focus on Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) issues:

• Replacement of high-pressure sodium (HPS) light fittings for the lamppost with LED and infrared sensors. LED light fittings help to save 2–3 times energy compared to the HPS light fittings.
• Installation of photocell at block A, B, C and E. Photocells control the corridor and staircases lighting, and activate the lights to switch on when the sky is dark.
• Installation of Automatic Lightning Warning System (ALWS) link to NEA to alert potential lightning strikes at a specific location — such as the open field beside the University. This sophisticated system can detect the danger of lightning even when no strike has previously occurred.  The ALWS was implemented to mitigate the risk towards our staff and students who have scheduled or ongoing outdoor activities. There were also renovation and improvement work, including additional workstations in some of the offices, replacement of the conventional air cooler at the courtyard, repainting works of boundary fencing and gates, and new classroom tables.
