It future use of the building could be cultural, educational, community, commercial or a combination of the above provided they are compatible with the historical and cultural character of the building.
On 17 February 2009, the government declared that the building will be used by the Hong Kong Baptist University as a Chinese Medicine and healthcare centre. The capital cost of the project is estimated at HK$24.8 million. The revitalisation work was completed in early 2012, and the building is now known as Hong Kong Baptist University School of Chinese Medicine – Lui Seng Chun.[5]
We suggest having 2 shops on the ground floor of Lui Seng Chun. One is a Chinese herbal shop cum clinic. The other is a Chinese herbal tea house. In order to re-create nostalgia, the Chinese herbal tea house should follow the typical design of the 50's. Shamshuipo is an old district with a lot of elders living in there who are not accustomed to consult western medical practitioners. Therefore to have a Chinese herbal shop cum clinic at Lui Seng Chun is most appropriate for them.

Initially, four practitioners will offer acupuncture, Chinese medicine and bone-setting to an estimated 80 patients a day.

A fifth of the consultations will be reserved for welfare recipients, who will get free consultations and basic medicine. Patients over 65 will enjoy a 20 per cent discount on fees.

The four-storey building has a herbal tea shop and courtyard on the ground floor, and a reception and a pharmacy on the first floor.

The idea of setting up the tea shop was to relive the original 'shop' environment of the shophouse, said William Wong Ho-man, of the university's estates office.

People can come by and buy a cup of herbal tea and create a sharing and harmonious atmosphere in the community
