As a result, land was purchased in the eastern part of the Guangdong city (Canton) to meet the rapid growth of the school.

As a result, the board of directors decided in 1989 to press ahead a major redevelopment plan for the college.

It was decided that lands located in the hillside would be sold to the Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited for pooling a source of income for the redevelopment project.

In 2011, the college resumed instruction at the Hong Kong Adventist Academy, a primary and secondary school located on its campus.

Through this program, students can develop their language skills and get a better insight into university learning when studying in Hong Kong for the first two years.
