Details

Place of Gathering	9:50 am - 10:00 am at the Site Entrance of Lui Seng Chun
Details:	Built in 1931, Lui Seng Chun is located at 119 Lai Chi Kok Road, Mong Kok, in Kowloon. The four-storey building, with a total gross floor area of 600 square metres, has been categorised as a Grade I historical building. With its typical “Kee-lau” architecture, Lui Seng Chun not only bears witness to the development of the Lui family but also showcases old-style Hong Kong. The Lui family donated the Lui Seng Chun building to the government in 2003 on a no-reward basis. In 2008, "Lui Seng Chun" was included in the first batch of “Revitalising Historic Buildings through Partnership Scheme”. In 2009, Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) was selected by the Development Bureau from the 30 applicants to undertake the revitalisation project of Lui Seng Chun. The Lui Seng Chun building will be transformed into a Chinese medicine healthcare centre to be named the Hong Kong Baptist University School of Chinese Medicine – Lui Seng Chun. While conserving the heritage and architectural merits of Lui Seng Chun, the centre will provide comprehensive Chinese medicine and healthcare services to the community, enhance public knowledge of Chinese medicine and help to train professionals in the field. The conversion will also turn the building into a historical and cultural landmark. The cost of this revitalisation project is estimated to be around HK$26 million and completion is expected in April 2012. In terms of heritage conservation, the original building profile and most of its architectural features will be retained. Necessary alteration and additional works for complying current statutory requirements, required structural stability and to meet the functional needs of the centre were proposed. All alteration works performed should have minimal impact to the historic building and be reversible as far as possible. Estimated works in progress during the visit included construction of ground beam, underground drainage, stair structural frame, steel frame of lift shaft, glass enclosure frame, external spalling repair and installation of E/M services.
