History edit
The HKCC was first established in rented premises in 2001 and initially provided 800 self-financing sub-degree student places.[2]
On 27 June 2003, the Finance Committee of Hong Kong's Legislative Council approved a loan to the Polytechnic University to be used to construct a campus for HKCC in Hung Hom.[2]
To accommodate the growth of the college, a second campus was opened in Yau Ma Tei.
