× DATA / PROVENANCE
What does this prototype know? An independent research prototype, not an official HKU product. Public-map study areas cover Main and Centennial Campuses, Sassoon Road Campus and selected nearby facilities. This is not a complete inventory of HKU assets or off-campus properties.
HKU official maps Used for campus context and name checks. PDF diagrams are not treated as survey basemaps. Main campus map: April 2025; Sassoon Road map: March 2025.
HKU map portal ↗ Main campus official PDF ↗ Sassoon Road official PDF ↗ OpenStreetMap GIS Footprints, campus boundaries and walking routes come from OSM, retrieved 4 November 2026. The study selection includes objects inside boundaries and some matching named facilities; it is not an approved HKU asset register. Routes do not guarantee access or accessibility.
© OpenStreetMap contributors · ODbL ↗ 3D models and heights Detailed buildings use public textured GLTF models from the Hong Kong Lands Department via CSDI. Geometry is retained, textures compressed and coordinates transformed. Source elevation relationships use a 0m reference plane; no survey-grade vertical datum conversion has been performed. Two official untextured terrain tiles cover the Main campus; Sassoon Road terrain is not connected. Boundaries, present-day conditions, elevation alignment and building names need verification. Model coverage includes platforms, building parts and cross-boundary objects, not an approved HKU inventory. Other OSM volumes use stated heights, storeys multiplied by 3.5m, or a 12m placeholder. Floor bands are visual only. Unsuitable for engineering, visibility, slope or safety analysis.
Google Maps links Each building links to Google Maps location and walking directions. No Google aerial imagery, 3D meshes or map data are copied, and no paid Maps API is connected.
