A Former Central Police Station (CPS) Revitalisation Project was established to conserve and revitalize the heritage site for reuse. The project was operated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and took eight-year to complete.

Tai Kwun, named after the historical colloquial name of the compound, is a mix of heritage and contemporary architecture. 16 heritage buildings have been restored for reuse. An additional two new buildings have been constructed, featuring designs inspired by the site's historic brickwork. The aims of the project of the Fall Semester is to focus on orthogonal drawings (Plans, Elevations and Sections) and physical models that allowed students to get in control of their focus of study by providing some real skills (observing, describing, drawing, making).
