Find your way: read the building and room

Copy the full venue from the current AIMS schedule, course notice or booking confirmation. Identify the building before the floor and room: “5/F” alone is insufficient.

Search the official interactive map by building, unit or facility. At the entrance, use the directory, colour zone and signs. Do not assume adjacent buildings connect at every level.

1. 1

   Check the venue for that day

   Record date/time, building, floor and room. For classes use the current timetable and room-change notice; for appointments use the confirmation.

2. 2

   Set the building as the map destination

   Use this page’s map link and search the full building or department name. Reach its entrance/gathering point before finding the floor. Adjacent buildings need not connect on the same level.

   Locate the building on the campus map (opens in a new tab)
3. 3

   Find the zone and lift

   In YEUNG/BOC, identify the colour zone first. Follow floor directories to the right lift/stair and then check the full door number.

4. 4

   If lost, report a usable location

   Say “I am at [building + floor + door/gathering point] and need [full destination]” to the destination office. General enquiries: 3442 7654. State wheelchair or step-free access needs explicitly.

Start with the building names below. YEUNG, LI, LAU and BOC are common Kowloon Tong campus destinations. CMC is at 18 Tat Hong Avenue and CIC at 22 Cornwall Street; “CityU” alone does not identify an entrance. The map button supplies navigation, while this page explains how to identify the building and room.

YEUNG uses P, G, B and Y for Purple, Green, Blue and Yellow. BOC uses the Red zone and R-prefixed room numbers; R is not a fifth YEUNG zone.

Large gathering-point letters mark entrances or common meeting areas and guide you onwards. LI uses G/H, LAU E and CMC K. These letters are different from room-number colour prefixes.

For lifts, accessible routes or a specific entrance, consult the map and signs and confirm with the destination office if needed. Share the full building, floor and room or an agreed gathering point when meeting someone.

LI and LAU use different floor levels because of the terrain. The connections and facilities below are listed in the official 2026/27 freshmen guide. At each connecting point continue following the full building name and room signs.
