The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) Charities Trust has generously donated $249 million to PolyU to support the Jockey Club Innovation Tower project and the set up of the Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation (JCDISI).

On 17 January, an announcement ceremony for the establishment of JCDISI was held, with HKJC Chairman Mr T. Brian Stevenson; PolyU Council Chairman the Honourable Ms Marjorie Yang Mun-tak; and PolyU President Prof. Timothy W. Tong as the officiating guests.

JCDISI will be housed together with PolyU School of Design in the Jockey Club Innovation Tower. The 15-storey Tower is the first permanent architecture by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid in Hong Kong.

The work of JCDISI will be grouped under four strategic themes - (1) Service Design; (2) Sustainable Environment; (3) Holistic Health; and (4) Adolescent and Family Development. Details>>
