Laundry is done every week in the second block on the 26th floor. Laundry is free and hassling. The only way to reach the Village Hall is by shuttle bus (or students can choose to hike over a hill) during 7 AM and 8-8:30 PM.
- Buildings where various classes are held
- Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre - Most classes held here (14.1 Chemistry in Society, Fast-paced High School Chemistry, Crafting the Essay, Mathematics and Money, Mathematical Modelling, various YS classes)
- Arts Building - Computer Science
- Buildings/places where various activities are held
- Brick Wall - Outdoor place with a grassy area and yes, a (brick) wall between the stairs to the grassy area. Activities held in 14.1 included Tie-dyeing, Speed-friending, Obstacle courses, Picnic with Anne (4th place prize of Casino Night), Drip Drip Drop (girls wore white shirts to the happiness of the guys)
