To address the acute shortage of residential places at HKU, the redevelopment of Lady Ho Tung Hall was mooted in 1996. This would enhance the provision of more places for undergraduates to experience residential hall life, which is recognised as an intrinsically valuable part of their tertiary education.
The Jockey Club Student Village houses the largest number of residential students at the University of Hong Kong, giving accommodation to more than 900 young people. The Village includes three halls; namely Ho Tim Hall serving as a multipurpose building, the redeveloped Lady Ho Tung Hall and Starr Hall, the newest University residence.
Commemorative plaques of the halls will be unveiled by Professor Ian Davies (Vice-Chancellor of HKU), Mr Paul Cheng (Steward of the Hong Kong Jockey Club), Mr Hamilton Ho (son of Dr Ho Tim), Mr Robert Ho (grandson of Sir Joseph Ho Tung), Mr Edmund Tse (Vice Chairman, Life Insurance of American International Group and Trustee of Starr Foundation) and Dr David Li (Pro-Chancellor of HKU) at the opening ceremony.
Reporters/photographers are cordially to attend the opening ceremony. Details of the ceremony are as follows:
Date: Thursday, January 31, 2002
Time: 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Venue: Jockey Club Student Village, No. 91, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong
