Hornell Hall (Chinese name: 康寧堂) is the first and only male non-residential undergraduate and graduate hall at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Hornell Hall was founded on September 24, 1953, and was named after Sir William Hornell, a former Vice-Chancellor of HKU.
Hornell is characterized by its long history, rich traditions, and a brotherhood among past and current members who have led the way in many sports and socially conscious activities at HKU. Our hall is "unique" and "cutting-edge." Working alongside alumni and student members, Hornell Hall offers incredible life experiences that are truly unrivaled!
