The special room is also equipped with a cleaner room with the latest model of a heat-recycle dish washer to meet the fierce demand of cleaned wine glasses and kitchen utensils. The cleaner room layout meets the heavy demand with an ergonomic design for the health benefits of our staff. The coffee and wine programmes currently offered by the School have all reached the professional level, and have been certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) respectively. Some graduates have already become professional instructors in those fields. The School’s part-time coffee teacher, Mr Keith Tse, is an Authorized Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Trainer. He holds the ‘Brewing Professional’ and ‘Barista Skills Professional’ from Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), and has won the Hong Kong Latte Art Championship 4 times. Keith loves and enjoys coffee and he wishes to share his knowledge and professional techniques with more like-minded people. The School’s wine teacher, Ms. Susanna Poon, is a Certified WSET Educator. Her passion in wine has led her to various wine qualifications such as Champagne Expert (Distinction), Italian Wine Maestro, and Champagne Chevalier of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne (OCC) from its Hong Kong branch. As a former student of the School’s wine programmes, Susanna is now appointed as the judge of Wine Luxe International Awards. Moreover, as part of the Coach Team for the HKU SPACE Wine Team, she led our students to win The Left Bank Bordeaux Cup Blind Tasting Competition at Chateau Lafite in 2019. The Student Common Rooms also have very ingenious designs – the extensive use of glass partitions allows plenty of natural light to penetrate into the interior, creating brighter, more dynamic, lively and energetic space; the adoption of warm tone colours create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, bringing out a “home sweet home” feeling for the students, and promotes a sense of belonging; the indoor seating arrangement and space can be adjusted flexibly, allowing different types of student activities of different sizes. 學生休息室設計匠心獨運，大量 使用玻璃作為間隔，引進自然光 線，使室內更顯明亮、充滿活力 和生氣；暖色格調營造了溫馨及 輕鬆的氛圍，學生置身其中有如 身處家中般舒適，對學院的歸屬 感更大；室內座位及空間更可靈 活調整，作為舉辦不同類型及規 模學生活動的場地。 In line with the School’s strategy of developing e-learning, the classrooms at the new Kowloon West Campus are featured with the latest technology and equipment to support oncampus and off-campus teaching at the same time; echo-free classrooms are ideal for discussion and Q&A sessions; digital interactive whiteboards are in place to help achieve easy illustration and more efficient teaching; touch interface is available to control audio, video, lighting and the delivery of signals, which can support wireless teaching and presentation. In addition, given the demand and trends in learning wine and coffee tasting in modern society, the new Kowloon West Campus has a special room with an area of 2,000 square feet. The room is specially designed to be a professional-grade “life kitchen” with Arclinea, a famous Italian brand kitchen cabinets. The aesthetics of Arclinea combine the Italian design with better-performing equipment and more sophisticated and durable finishes. It has wine cellars, espresso machines, coffee grinders, ice making machines, glass chiller, cooking stoves, and other advanced equipment, simulating a reallife environment in a café or wine bar. Its interior design adopts simple light and clean tone as backdrop, with dark and metallic tone tables and chairs as highlight for the whole space. The setting of the special room is to complement the School’s plan in developing more food & beverage related programmes. For those who aspire to become professional sommeliers, baristas, or just want to learn dining etiquette and wine & food pairing, learning in such a modern kitchen will definitely help them acquire knowledge and master skills more effectively. 05 為配合學院發展電子學習的策略，新九西校舍的課室裝 置了最新科技設備，可以同時支援即場和遙距教學；零 回音干擾的課室非常適合進行討論及問答環節；互動 式電子白板使教學更有效率；觸控式介面調控音頻、視 訊、照明及訊號傳輸，可支援無線教學示範。 此外，因應現代社會對品酒、品鑑咖啡等學習需求及趨 勢，新九西校舍設有面積2,000平方呎的特別教室，並 打造成專業級的「生活廚房」，採用意大利著名廚櫃品 牌Arclinea的設計，其美學與意大利設計、高性能設備 及精緻耐用的飾面相結合。酒櫃、意式咖啡機、咖啡磨 豆機、製冰機、玻璃製冷器及煮食爐具等先進設備齊 全，儼然就是現實生活中咖啡室及酒吧；以簡約潔淨的 背景色調配襯深沉和金屬顏色的枱椅，點亮了整個空 間。特別教室的設置是配合學院開拓更多與餐飲相關 課程的計劃，對於有志成為專業品酒師、咖啡師或單 純學習用餐禮儀、餐酒與美食搭配的人士，在這個現代 化廚房學習，必能事半而功倍。 特別教室更設有配備最新型熱循環洗碗機的潔淨室， 可滿足清洗酒杯和廚房用具的強大需求。潔淨室的設 計符合人體工學，有助於維持員工的健康。 學院目前開辦的咖啡及品酒課程均達到專業級別，分 別獲得精品咖啡協會及葡萄酒與烈酒教育基金會認 證，有畢業同學已成為專業導師。兼職咖啡導師謝冠 杰是精品咖啡師協會認證的培訓師，擁有「咖啡沖煮專 業資格證書」及「咖啡師技能專業資格證書」，曾四度 贏得香港咖啡拉花大賽冠軍。他熱愛和享受咖啡，希望 將自己的知識和專業技術與志趣相投的人士分享。 品酒導師潘寶賢對餐酒充滿熱忱，是葡萄酒與烈酒 教育基金會認證的導師，獲傑出香檳專家及意大利 葡萄酒大使榮譽及香檳襟章會香港分會授予女騎士 勳章，更是學院品酒課程的舊生，現任酒．派國際葡 萄酒及烈酒大獎賽評委。於2019 年，她更帶領我們 的學生贏得2019年在拉菲酒莊舉行的左岸波爾多 杯盲品比賽。
