Which Hong Kong university building was designed by Zaha Hadid?

The Hong Kong university building designed by Zaha Hadid is the Jockey Club Innovation Tower.

The tower stands at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hung Hom, Kowloon. Zaha Hadid’s firm won the design competition in 2007, and the building was completed in 2014. It became Hadid’s first permanent built work in Hong Kong.

The project was conceived as a flexible home for PolyU’s School of Design. Its flowing form rejects the conventional distinction between a tower and a podium, creating a continuous building with studios, classrooms, exhibition areas, lecture spaces, workshops and communal facilities.

The building was originally called Innovation Tower. In 2011, funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club led to its fuller name, Jockey Club Innovation Tower. It is sometimes confused with other prominent university buildings, including Shaw Auditorium and Li Ka Shing Tower, but those are separate PolyU facilities. The tower is roughly 76 metres high and provides about 15,000 square metres of floor area for design education and research.
