The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is pleased to celebrate the official opening today (18 March) of the Jockey Club Campus of Creativity at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). This landmark development, comprising a state-of-the-art creative hub and student residential halls, was made possible by a HK$452 million from the Trust – its largest single donation to HKBU.   

Officiating at the opening ceremony were HKSAR Government Secretary for Education Dr Choi Yuk-lin; Club Steward Ann Kung; Hong Kong Baptist University Chairman of the Council and the Court Dr Kennedy Wong; Hong Kong Baptist University President and Vice-Chancellor Prof Alexander Wai; University Grants Committee Secretary-General Prof James Tang; Hong Kong Baptist University Deputy Chairman of the Council and the Court Paul Poon; and Hong Kong Baptist University Treasurer of the Council and the Court Kevin Liem.

Club Steward Ann Kung said at the ceremony, “The campus is a shining example of The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s commitment to talent development and the betterment of society. It marks the start of a journey to nurture 21st century learners and foster creative industries in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.”

Located at Renfrew Road in Kowloon Tong, the Jockey Club Campus of Creativityis the first in Hong Kong to combine student accommodation, academic facilities and co-creation spaces, allowing students to live and learn in a culturally and intellectually stimulating environment.

The student hostel consists of four blocks providing over 1,700 places and a student activity centre. The five-storey Jockey Club Creative Hub offers academic space including first-of-its-kind facilities in Hong Kong such as a full-size scoring stage, the Jockey Club White Box Experimental Space and a research cluster. The campus aims to serve as a base for various creativity initiatives and to provide students with an open, flexible and technology-aided environment to exchange, collaborate and experiment with new ideas.     

The Club’s support for the Jockey Club Campus of Creativity, like all its charity and community donations, is made possible by its unique integrated business model through which racing and wagering generate tax contributions, charity support and employment opportunities.
