PolyU has recently received a donation of HK$249 million from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust in support of the Jockey Club Innovation Tower, the future home of the University's School of Design (SD) and the Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation (JCDISI). The Jockey Club Innovation Tower is the creation of Ms Zaha Hadid, a world-renowned architect and the first female recipient of the coveted Pritzker Architecture prize. Located at the northeastern tip of the University campus, the Tower is expected to be completed by the end of 2012. Besides supporting the learning, teaching and research activities of SD, the Tower will also house the JCDISI, which aims to become an international design, innovation and entrepreneurship hub where Hong Kong's higher education institutions can collaborate with the business sector and community groups to bring innovative ideas with social relevance into commercial viability. The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s visionary support for the Jockey Club Innovation Tower and the JCDISI will make significant contributions to enhancing the quality of life and sustainable development in Hong Kong society. The two projects would also foster creativity and innovation amongst practitioners and of our future generations. Details>>
