The University of Macau’s (UM) Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) became the first faculty to move onto the new campus on 28 February 2014. FHS faculty and staff members were very satisfied with their new offices on the new campus, saying that they already felt more motivated in the new environment. They also commented on how the interconnecting covered walkways between the buildings make walking around the campus not only a lot easier but also more enjoyable as now they can chat with their colleagues or students as they walk.
Prof. Ge Wei, interim dean of FHS, noted that the relocation opened a new chapter not only in the faculty’s history, but also in UM’s history. As the dean of FHS, he feels very proud that FHS becomes the first to move onto the new campus. “We have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and we are all very excited.” said Prof. Ge. “The new campus is beautiful, and the facilities are very good. With the continued support of the University, my colleagues and I will continue to work together to try to develop FHS into a first-rate faculty in the field.”
With more world-class hardware setting up and professional academics are coming on board to join the FHS family, daily laboratory research routine is about to be kicked off. Stay tuned here for news coming up.
