Dr Lui Che-woo has long been supportive of HKU in enhancing the quality of legal education, and the Law Library was named after him in 1997. In 2010, Dr Lui provided further support to the University to set up an expanded law library on the Centennial Campus. A dedication ceremony was held on October 30, 2012 to celebrate the new home of the law library. The new 1,500m² Lui Che Woo Law Library houses more than 120,000 volumes, is equipped with technologies for digital legal research, and will serve as a key knowledge resource for law students and legal professionals alike.

On November 8, 2012 HKU held a dedication ceremony for the Cheng Yu Tung Tower, in recognition of Dr Cheng’s generous support of campus development and the Faculty of Law. The new building is equipped with state-of-the-artfacilities, a new and larger moot court, advocacy laboratories, an expanded law library, and an Alumni and Reading Room. Professor Johannes Chan, Dean of Law, noted at the ceremony: “To us, the new home is a commitment to the important and unique mission of the Faculty in maintaining and developing the rule of law in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.”

On January 6, a dedication ceremony for the Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre was held, followed by an Inaugural Concert featuring the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. The support of Dr the Honourable Lee Shau-kee has resulted in the creation of the Centennial Campus’ landmark Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre, which includes 26 lecture halls and classrooms, a black box theatre and the aptly named Grand Hall, the largest auditorium on campus and a prime event venue for lectures, concerts and other activities.

On behalf of the University, Vice-Chancellor Professor Lap-Chee Tsui expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Dr Lui Che-woo, Dr Cheng Yu-tung and Dr the Honourable Lee Shau-kee for their generosity, saying: “These philanthropists and the University have always shared the same vision and mission in nurturing future leaders. Their benevolence will be legacies for future generations.”
