Date, time & venue

2018-05-12;10:00a.m. to 11:30a.m.;The Murray, Hong Kong, 22 Cotton Tree Drive Central, Hong Kong


Programme Highlights

The Murray was originally named as ‘’Murray Building’’. It was designed by the then Public Works Department and completed in 1969. The building was 27 storeys tall, being the tallest government building at the time. It once hosted the headquarters of many important policy bureaus and governmental departments.  Murray Building comes with special architectural interest. Its windows were meticulously oriented to avoid intrusion of excessive direct sunlight, and the building is surrounded by major roads on all sides, with its vehicular entrance neatly knitted into the steep Cotton Tree Drive. Following the relocation of its current offices to new Central Government Complex at Tamar in 2011, the old government office building was then converted into a hotel, which becomes The Murray of today.

The visit will introduce the building’s heritage and history, the background of the conversion project, as well as its architectural features which won the Certificate of Merit of the Energy Efficient Building Award in 1994, through presentation and a walk-along tour.
