Green Features of re Kiosk
re Kiosk is designed and constructed in a sustainable manner. We are also growing a wide variety of plants, turning the spot into a mini garden with beautiful greenery scene. With sustainability at the heart of the design, it reinforces HKU’s institutional vision, commitments, and goals into all aspects of the University’s facilities, operations and activities.
