Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI, ) is a design school in Tiu Keng Leng, Junk Bay, Hong Kong. It was founded by the Vocational Training Council in 2007 and moved into a purpose-built campus in 2010. The school offers higher diplomas, academic degrees, and continuing education programmes in various design disciplines.

History
HKDI was envisioned to centralise existing design programmes offered at various other Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education campuses in Sha Tin, Kwai Chung, Kwun Tong, and Tsing Yi.

In April 2006, the VTC opened an international architecture competition to design a new campus able to accommodate 4,000 students. The competition was judged by a panel of noted architects including Richard Meier and Rocco Yim. The winning design, which beat out 162 other submissions, was produced by the French architecture firm Coldefy & Associés.

HKDI Logo
The HKDI’s corporate signature is comprised of a symbol and a bilingual logotype. The design of the symbol is based on the “HKDI” letterforms and embodies an inherent cultural characteristics. The characters “HK” at the upper part of the symbol resemble the Chinese character “天” meaning sky or heaven, and “DI” at the lower portion has phonetic resemblance to “Earth” “地” in Putonghua. Unifying heaven and earth conveys harmony, truth and beauty, all of which are fundamental elements in the nature and discipline of design.

Campus
The HKDI campus, located in Tiu Keng Leng in Tseung Kwan O New Town, opened in the fall of 2010. The building comprises a massive rectangular volume suspended seven storeys above street level on four towers supported by a steel lattice exoskeleton. The podium houses four auditoriums, a cafe, and gallery and exhibition space. Sports facilities include an indoor games hall, outdoor basketball courts, and a swimming pool.

The HKDI is located beside the new Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) Lee Wai Lee campus, which relocated from Kowloon Tong before the 2010-11 school year. The two buildings are linked together by footbridges.

The campus is across the street from Tiu Keng Leng Station (Exit A2), which serves both the Tseung Kwan O Line and Kwun Tong Line of the MTR.

Facilities
Located at the ground floor of the HKDI campus, the Design Boulevard connects the exhibition spaces, the VTC Auditorium and other campus facilities. It serves as an important open space for the Institute’s major events and performances.
