A Gallery Telling a Story of Transformation at PolyU

Within these walls lies a treasure trove showcasing over eight decades of PolyU’s rich history and impact on society. It is a chronicle of our journey from a humble technical college to an innovative world-class university ranked among the world’s top 100.

Always moving with the times, our holistic approach to education nurtures socially responsible professionals and leaders with a strong sense of national pride and a global perspective, ready to make meaningful contributions to society once they emerge from our University as graduates.

Our University has also built a strong reputation as a hub of innovation, collaborating with industry to transform scientific research into real-world solutions with direct societal benefits for Hong Kong, the Nation and the world. Meeting the demands of tomorrow, we continuously strengthen our research and innovation capabilities to solve future challenges.

Come and explore our journey of pursuing world-class excellence in education and research.

The Design

Red brick tiles are found all over the PolyU campus. The design of the Gallery front wall honours this identity with a modern twist. The changing views through the holes in the wall allow glimpses of the red bricks behind. The hollow cement blocks in the wall are made of sustainable cement developed by our researchers. They represent PolyU's role in Hong Kong’s industrial history and commitment to future innovation.

The Gallery Experience

The University Gallery is a space to recognise the remarkable individuals who have been part of the PolyU family. Through engaging profiles and exhibits, it bears witness to our role in cultivating generations of outstanding graduates, scholars and researchers. We are delighted to invite you to witness our journey of transformation over the years to meet societal needs, and our promise to continue expanding the possibilities of education and research in the next decade and beyond.

The journey will take you through different zones, each telling unique stories about different aspects of PolyU. Alongside a compilation of facts that provide meaningful insights, you will gain a deeper understanding of our history of pursuing excellence and how we will forge ahead as an innovative world-class university.
