The Material Resource Centre (MRC) in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design is a place to explore materials representing current trends in design, materials research and productions from all over the world. Visitors can discover new interesting materials and related technologies that can lead to new sources of inspiration and creativity.

The MRC contains thousands of new and innovative materials from all over the world, collections from Material ConneXion New York, StylePark Germany, PolyU Eco-Material Archive (HK and PRD), Pantone color libraries and collections of local materials, manufacturers and suppliers. Material samples are continually added and updated.

Every material sample is linked to a database containing all the related detailed descriptions and information, including contacts of manufacturers and distributors.
