兆龍樓的昔與今 Sui Loong Pao Building – Then and Now


過去一個月,原分佈於大學本部不同建築物的財務處各單位陸續遷入兆龍樓。最後搬遷的會計組,亦剛於10月24日遷入新址。這棟落成四十年的建築物又有新住戶。

兆龍樓高四層,於1977年底落成,得到著名商人包玉剛爵士捐贈全額建築費共港幣三百餘萬元。中大為感謝包爵士,特以其父包兆龍先生命名此樓。兆龍樓啓用典禮於1978年1月12日舉行,當日林蔭大道上冠蓋雲集,更邀請到時任港督的麥理浩爵士擔任剪綵嘉賓。

兆龍樓早期供工商管理學院和公共事務研究中心等教研單位之用,亦曾是醫學院臨時辦事處所在;1992年成爲教務處及其屬下單位的辦公樓;2014年教務處遷出,2017年成爲財務處的辦公樓。

In the past month, units of the Bursary were busy moving into Sui Loong Pao Building from different places of the Central Campus. The whole removal process was completed on 24 October, when the last unit, Accounting Operations and Systems Unit, moved to this 40-year-old building.

The construction of the four-storey Sui Loong Pao Building was completed in late 1977 with a donation of over HK $3 million from Sir Yue-kong Pao, a renowned businessman. In appreciation of Sir Pao’s generosity, the building was named after his father Mr. Sui Loong Pao. Witnessed by over a hundred honoured guests, Sui Loong Pao Building was officially opened on 12 January 1978 by Lord Murray MacLehose, then Hong Kong Governor.

In the early days Sui Loong Pao Building housed the Faculty of Business Administration and the Public Affairs Research Centre, and used to be the temporary office of the Faculty of Medicine. In 1992 the Building became the Registry office. In 2014 the Registry moved out and in 2017 Sui Loong Pao Building was converted to the Bursary office.
