Dear Colleagues, Students, and Friends of FCE
As we gallop into 2026, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a joyful, healthy, and prosperous Chinese New Year to you and your families! May this year bring you the energy, courage, and determination of the horse, inspiring you to seize new growth opportunities and embrace changes with confidence and optimism.
The past year has seen our Faculty continue to strengthen our education and research capabilities. We launched the new Bachelor’s Degree Scheme in Construction and Environment, offering more flexible educational pathways, and introduced the new Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architectural Studies, advancing architectural education and innovation. We also spearheaded the establishment of new research platforms, harnessing cross-disciplinary expertise to address climate resilience. To further unite the FCE community, we rolled out a new Tiered Recognition Programme for contributions to the FCE Fund and established the FCE Smart and Resilient Visionaries Network.
The Year of the Horse is a time for bold actions and forward momentum. I am confident that we will continue to thrive by embracing new opportunities. I wish you a dynamic and successful Year of the Horse!
