Supporting the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong’s development

Through the Lee Shau Kee Foundation, Dr Lee Ka Shing, Martin, Chairman of Henderson Land Group, has contributed HK$20 million to HSUHK in support of its campus and student development.

This donation supported the construction of the Creative Humanities Hub (“the Hub”), which was officially opened in early 2024. The Hub is a part of the University’s ongoing efforts to enhance its creative humanities education to cater to the increase in student numbers and the growing demand for additional teaching and learning facilities.

In gratitude for Dr Lee’s magnanimous support, a multipurpose digital studio in the Hub has been named the Martin Ka Shing Lee Innovation Lab, and a cheque presentation ceremony was held to mark the occasion in August 2023.

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Lee said: “Innovation has always been at the heart of Henderson Land, and young people are the future of Hong Kong. This is why we have remained steadfast in our support for our young leaders, striving to help them unleash creativity, cultivate innovative ideas and adapt to the global trends in digital technology. My donation to HSUHK for the construction of a new academic building and the establishment of a student fund was born out of my hope to provide students with ample space where they can develop and harness their talent. Young people, I reckon, are filled with infinite possibilities and innovative ideas that will lead the way for the city’s sustained development. Henderson Land will continue to embody its people-centric approach, offering opportunities and space to nurture youth and propel innovation.”

The donation will also help set up three student funds, namely, the Martin Ka Shing Lee Innovation Award, which aims to cultivate innovative thinking and creativity in our youth, the Martin Ka Shing Lee Scholarship for Exchange and Global Internship Programme, and the Martin Ka Shing Lee Student Financial Aid Scheme.
