TriAngle
About TriAngle
TriAngle is located at the heart of the Shaw Campus. It provides a platform for the gathering of creative minds who believe in the synergy of collaborations. It is more than a physical place for meetings and projects but a co-working space for you to gather, network and make impact through creativity, interactivity and collaborations.

Beauty in the Flaws
TriAngle is not an ordinary co-working space. Here, we admit our limits, embrace imperfections and see the beauty in the flaws. Take a closer look at the facilities around and you may tell that our infrastructures are not impeccable:
- Our automatic door swings open in slow motion… Take a deep breath, count to 5 and give yourself a moment of silence.
- Our giant exhibition stands are too heavy to move… Why don’t we conveniently use them as desks?
- Our writing boards flip and flop… Let’s keep swinging and balancing the needs of all sides.
TriAngle is extraordinary. It allows you to painstakingly try, experience failures and go with the flow. Life is never perfect— learn from mistakes! #tryandgo!
Who is it for?
• HKBU students and instructors of service-learning courses
• Social innovation projects steered by students and staff
About Our Name and Logo
The creation is inspired by “Trying” and “Collaboration”. These are embedded in the pronunciation (Try and Go) and the logo where perspectives (angles), innovation (vibrant colours and blank space) and working together (the lines which resemble hand in hand) are expressed. TriAngle is the brainchild of HKBU Chemistry student Cherry Kwok Tsz Ting who believes innovation begins with the courage to try.
Collaboration Opportunities
If you wish to co-organise social innovation activities that will bring positive changes to both HKBU students and the wider community in TriAngle, please send us a booking request.
