Loke Yew Hall, University of Hong Kong
The university was built with a gift of $1.3 million from local Parsee businessman Sir Hormusjee Mody. The architects of Leigh and Orange Limited designed the building. The foundation stone was laid on March 16, 1910. By 1912, the former Hong Kong School of Medicine, founded by the London Mission Board, became the University of Hong Kong. The governor, Sir Frederick Lugard, officiated at the opening ceremony and he also became the first supervisor. Seventy-two students were admitted: 31 into engineering, 21 into medical school; and 20 into the Faculty of Arts. Loke Yew Hall is "renaissance" in style. The main building is three storeys high, surmounted by a tall clock-tower in the centre and four turrets. There are four courtyards in the middle with U-shaped corridors surrounding the classrooms and offices. Loke Yew Hall was later lengthened and sections at the rear were added. It remains one of the few old buildings inside the campus that have not been torn down and rebuilt.
