Hung Hing Ying Building of The University of Hong Kong
Pok Fu Lam
One of the earliest structures on the campus of The University of Hong Kong, Hung Hing Ying Building was built with financial assistance from Sir Paul Chater and Professor G.P. Jordan among others. The building was originally designed to house the student union and was officially opened in 1919 by the then Hong Kong Governor Sir Reginald Stubbs. It was temporarily used by the Registry after the Second World War, and was later converted into the Senior Common Room in 1974. In 1986, the building was named in honour of Mr Hung Hing-ying in recognition of his family’s donations to the university. It housed the Department of Music from 1996 to 2012. The two-storey Classic Revival red-brick building with its central dome emulates the Main Building that stands opposite. The exterior of the building was declared a monument in 1995.
