Eliot Hall and May Hall

They were both designed by local Hong Kong Architects, Denison, Ram and Gibbs, which the two halls were opened in 1914 and 1915 respectively.

[5] Both halls were designed by local Hong Kong Architects, Denison, Ram and Gibbs in the Edwardian architectural style.

Both halls feature curved pediments over the entrance doorways, rusticated columns, Doric capitals, window sills, cornices, Chinese-style ceramic grilles, and balconies with balustrades.

Pitched and double-tiled Chinese roofs were also featured for both halls, which were local adaptations to the two buildings.

It was named after Sir Frederick Lugard, the first chancellor of the university and the 14th governor of Hong Kong.
