Chung Chi College (CCC) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) announced today (31 October) that its Project E Twin-Building has received two major donation pledges: HK$100 million from Dr Elizabeth K S Law<\/strong> and HK$50 million from the Council for World Mission\/Nethersole Fund. The project will introduce high-quality, modern learning and accommodation facilities to CCC, contributing to Hong Kong\u2019s development as an international education hub.<\/p>\r\n

At the 74th Anniversary Founders\u2019 Day Thanksgiving Service cum Project E Donation Ceremony, Dr Norman Chan Tak-lam<\/strong>, Chair of the CCC Board of Trustees, said: \u201cWe are profoundly grateful for the generous donations totalling HK$150 million from Dr Elizabeth K S Law and the Council for World Mission\/Nethersole Fund. This not only demonstrates the donors\u2019 support for higher education in Hong Kong but also affirms CCC\u2019s commitment to the philosophy of whole-person education. Project E also aligns with the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People\u2019s Republic of China\u2019s \u2018Hong Kong: Your World-class Campus\u2019 strategic initiative.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Dr Elizabeth K S Law said: \u201cThis donation is not just support for campus development. We hope it will help CCC nurture a young generation with both capability and a sense of responsibility, allowing knowledge and compassion to drive society forward.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The Reverend<\/strong> Dr Eric So Shing-yit<\/strong>, Chairman of the Council for World Mission\/Nethersole Fund, said: \u201cThe concept of Project E closely aligns with the Fund\u2019s mission of nurturing talents. We hope that students will be able to fully use the new resources to explore the unknown, with a positive impact on Hong Kong and the nation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The Project E Twin-Building, located adjacent to Exit A of University MTR Station, comprises two new multifunctional buildings. The high block includes a student hostel with 300 spaces and a Digital Creative Centre; the low block includes staff quarters with 24 units and an Alumni Activity Centre. The total project cost amounts to HK$550 million. The project aims to provide students with a high-quality learning and living environment, create a rich platform for interaction and exchange for teachers and alumni, and support innovation and development. The two buildings are expected to be completed and begin operating progressively during 2026\/27, becoming iconic landmarks of CCC and CUHK.<\/p>\r\n

CUHK and CCC are very grateful for the community\u2019s continued support. The donation ceremony was held during the Anniversary Thanksgiving Service, presided over by Dr Norman Chan Tak-lam and Professor Kwan Mei-po, College Head. Over a thousand staff, students, alumni and guests witnessed this solemn, moving occasion.<\/p>","show_as_achievement":false,"achievement_category":[],"show_as_clarification":false,"show_as_announcement":false,"photos":[{"photo":231055,"caption":"In recognition of Dr Elizabeth K S Law's donation of HK$100 million to Project E, Chung Chi College presented her with a special piece of calligraphy titled \"\u798f\u6fa4\u5609\u7a57\" as a token of gratitude."},{"photo":231056,"caption":"The Council for World Mission\/Nethersole Fund generously supported the Project E with a HK$50 million donation.
