Headquarters of InnoTech
The Tech Landmark, a complex of four towers, will be the next major development at the University.
After its establishment in 1911 on the historic Main Campus with the iconic Main Building, the University grew vastly to include all 10 faculties: Architecture, Arts, Business & Economics, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science, and Social Sciences.
In 2011, the Centennial Campus was completed to serve as the homes of the Faculties of Arts, Law, and Social Sciences. It also houses the Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre, which includes the 1,000-seat Grand Hall, and the Chi Wah Learning Commons, a state-of-the-art collaborative student learning space.
Now the Tech Landmark, planned for 2024, will mark HKU’s new horizons as it enters its second century.
The Tech Landmark will house 10 institutes serving as national platforms with global impact. The Lee Shau Kee Institute of the Mind was the first to be announced.
Growing the Talent Hub
HKU is proud to build on a foundation of academic excellence. According to Clarivate Analytics, 114 of our professors were ranked among the world’s top 1% of scientists, and 15 are among the world’s most highly cited researchers in 2018.
Going forward, we shall work to nurture our talents and recruit top researchers from all over the world.
Our goal is to add 50 new Endowed Professorships, and enhance a scheme that honours and supports eminent academics. A total of 116 Endowed Professorships have been established since 2005.
