To this day, the Main Building represents the historic center of HKU. This Edwardian, Baroque-style building was designed by Alfred Bryer of Leigh & Orange, the architectural firm responsible for many of the historic structures in Hong Kong today. It took two years to construct from 1910 to 1912, and was a gift from Sir Hormusjee Mody, a distinguished Indian Parsi businessman and philanthropist who lived in Hong Kong for 50 years. He is remembered today at HKU by a sculpture of his head on the staircase leading to Loke Yew Hall, and by Mody Road in Tsim Sha Tsui named in his honor.

時至今日,本部大樓仍然是港大的核心歷史建築。整棟大樓採用愛德華巴洛克式建築風格,由Leigh & Orange的建築師Alfred Bryer設計。該公司先後承建了不少的香港歷史建築。整項工程歷時兩年,由1910年開始至1912年峻工,由居住在港50年的印度巴斯裔商人及慈善家麼地爵士資助興建。為紀念他的貢獻,港大在通往陸佑堂的樓梯旁設置麼地爵士的頭像,尖沙咀的麼地道亦以其為名。

HKU 111th Anniversary NFT collection image

By any standards, 1911 was a momentous period in world history shaped by scientific discovery, political uprising, and cultural progress. It was also the year in which The University of Hong Kong was founded for the “promotion of learning, arts, science, and research”, so that students of all races, nationalities, and creeds could fulfill their potential to achieve a better life.

This year, we are honoring the 111th Anniversary of HKU with the release of our first ever NFT art works. This special series pays tribute to the women and men who have committed their lives to our university, as well as the current generation of academic leaders who use their skills, knowledge, and compassion to serve their communities.

The NFTs have been created using rarely seen images from the HKU Archives. Each work tells a unique story. We thank you for supporting HKU through this dynamic journey of art and culture.
