In 1963, Dr Li Shu Fan offered his
remarkable generosity to the Faculty of
Medicine in its development. He donated
a premise of over 80,000 square feet on
Sassoon Road and a building named after
him was inaugurated in 1965 and extended
in 1972. The Li Shu Fan Building housed
the 4 pre-clinical departments of the
Faculty, namely Anatomy, Biochemistry,
Pharmacology and Physiology. Next to the
Li Shu Fan Building is the Patrick
Manson Building where the Faculty
Office, the Medical Library and the
Department of Community Medicine are
accomodated. Most of the teaching during
the first two years was conducted in the
Li Shu Fan Building at Sassoon Road.

In 1997, the Faculty envisaged its further
development of quality medical education and
research activities that are significantly conducive
to the Hong Kong community. It commenced to work on
the re-development of the current pre-clinical
school and a new clinical research centre at the
site of the previous Northcote College of Education
at Sassoon Road. The new building provides a gross
floor area of 48, 250m2 to accommodate the relocated
pre-clinical departments and the Medical Library as
well as a clinical research centre. It comprises a
13-storey Laboratory Block, where the Hong Kong
Jockey Club Clinical Research Centre is housed and
advanced medical research will be carried out, and a
10-storey curvilinear Academic & Administration
Block which includes a hi-tech conference centre, a
medical library, seminar rooms, an education centre,
and offices. This magnificent building helps to
realize the concept of housing medical teaching and
research under one roof. The complex is one of the
best-equipped medical education and research centres
in the region. Not only does it stand as a new
landmark on Sassoon Road, but it also signifies that
the Faculty has moved into a new era of biomedical
science. |
