Unveiling of the Research Centre for Chinese History and Culture at HHB, PolyU

We are happy to announce the completion of our latest project, the Research Centre for Chinese History and Culture. This state-of-the-art facility is the first collaborative research centre between PolyU and Tsinghua University to enter the HHB Campus. The Centre's goal is to promote Chinese history and cultural education in Hong Kong and on campus, and to achieve this, our team adopted a contemporary Chinese style that blends traditional and modern elements. The result is a sleek yet sophisticated space that features a neutral color palette scheme and clean, minimal ornamentation, creating a serene, warm, and inviting atmosphere for cultural exchange, talent development, and research-related activities. It has been smashing to be part of this project and we are incredibly proud of the work done by our project team. The Research Centre for Chinese History and Culture is a valuable addition to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. We are excited to see the impact it will have on promoting the study of Chinese culture and history in Hong Kong and beyond.
