The D. H. Chen Foundation is donating HK$100M to The University of Hong Kong (HKU) for establishing a student residential college dedicated to sharing compassionate-based values and philosophy rooted in Buddhism, the first of its kind on the HKU campus.

Embracing the Foundation’s aim of building a compassionate society and promoting compassion-based values, this College will create a focal point for young people to explore and experience the Buddhist values of compassion, selflessness, peace and mindfulness.

The College is scheduled to open in September 2023, providing 300 hostel places for local as well as international undergraduate students.  Special features include a college hall for high tables and large scale events, a meditation room and outdoor gardens with serene zen spaces for quiet and mindfulness activities. The College will be one of the four student residences at a new Student Village in Wong Chuk Hang.
