City University of Hong Kong History

The origins of City University are in the call for an "second polytechnic" in the period that followed the establishment in 1972 of Hong Kong Polytechnic. in 1982, Executive Council member Chung Sze-yuen outlined a broad agreement in favor of "a second polytechnic that was similar in size as the first one should be constructed as soon as it is feasible." District officials in Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan have lobbied for the government to construct the new college within their new towns. The government instead bought temporary premises at the Argyle Center Tower II in Mong Kok, a property that was developed through the Mass Transit Railway Corporation in collaboration with the station that was then in. The school was renamed City Polytechnic of Hong Kong and was chosen from more than 300 suggestions from people in public. The new school was officially opened on the 8th of October, 1984, accepting 480 full-time as well as 680 part-time students. The student-to-student ratio of part-time was a major factor in the high number of students enrolled as the quota was filled nearly immediately.A parcel of land situated in the former location of a village called Chu Koo Chai [yue] was selected to be the campus. The contract for the design of the campus was awarded to Percy Thomas Partnership in association with Alan Fitch and W.N. Chung.It was initially planned to open in October 1988. The first phase was officially inaugurated with the help of Governor Wilson on January 15, 1990. It was awash with 14 lecture halls and 1500 computers. By 1991 the school was home to more than 10,000 full-time students as well as 3000 part-time students. The second part on the campus was opened in 1993. The school was granted university status in 1994, and its name was changed accordingly.
