Hung Hing Ying Building, Historic university building in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.

The Hung Hing Ying Building displays red brick architecture with a central dome and two rectangular wings connected by colonnaded verandahs facing north.

Completed in 1919, the building initially housed the University Union before its transformation into administrative offices after World War II and Senior Common Room in 1974.

The building received its current name in 1986 to recognize Hung Hing Ying's support for education, and became a declared monument in 1995.

The structure stands at the University of Hong Kong campus, hosting academic departments and serving administrative functions for faculty and students throughout the year.

Two tall chimney stacks rise on the south side of each wing, creating a symmetrical composition that distinguishes this Edwardian-style educational structure.
