Since 1991, Mrs. Heung-lan Yim-Chan 嚴陳香蘭 has been more than the keeper of our tennis court keys or the organiser of our notices. She has been the “Mother” of Ricci Hall. Through decades of freshmen’s jitters and alumni’s triumphant returns, she has remained our familiar face behind the front desk, a gentle presence in our corridors, and a quiet witness to the unfolding stories of Ricci Hall.
To celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Ricci Hall, HKU’s establishment, Ricci Hall Archives Conservation and Acquisition Project (RHACAP), HKU is proud and honoured to take up the initiative in remaking our hall photos, together with the corresponding lists of Executive Committee Members, Ricci Hall Students’ Association (RHSA), and HKUSU. Each photo was etched onto metal plates, adhered on an acrylic brick, and finally coated with a special sun protective layer. The photos are then mounted in the Square Corridor, which connects the Old and New Block, located above the Jockey Club Dining Hall.
