Academic Community Hall

Academic Community Hall, Performance venue in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong.

The Academic Community Hall (AC Hall) is a performance venue inside the Sham Shui Po campus of Hong Kong Baptist University on Waterloo Road, Kowloon Tong. Its Brutalist design by architect Eric Cumine is marked by a wide staircase leading from the main entrance up to the lobby. The auditorium has a wooden floor and 1,346 red seats, alongside a VIP room and several exhibition areas.

The hall was built on Waterloo Road as part of the Hong Kong Baptist University campus and quickly became one of its main gathering points. It was designed from the start to serve both academic events and cultural programming for the institution.

The hall sits at the heart of campus life at Hong Kong Baptist University, drawing students, faculty, and outside audiences to concerts, lectures, and theatrical performances throughout the year. It functions as a shared space where academic and artistic events meet naturally.

The venue sits within the Hong Kong Baptist University campus near MTR Kowloon Tong Station, making it easy to reach by public transport. It is worth checking in advance whether an event is scheduled, as access to the building may vary depending on what is on.

The wide flight of steps from the main entrance up to the lobby is the hall's best-known architectural feature. The 1,346 seats of the auditorium are fixed and upholstered in red, on a wooden floor. In 2012 a proposal to rename the hall after a HK$25 million donor, Lee Wai Siu-kei, was dropped after alumni and staff objected.
