Our Story

大學會堂的啟用，標誌著香港浸會大學發展的新一頁。大學的始創人及首任校長林子豐博士早年構思興建一個大型會堂，作為舉行各類大學活動之用。在1970年，林博士伉儷在金婚紀念典禮上慷慨捐出50萬港元興建禮堂，建築工程由本地著名建築師Eric Cumine負責。可惜林校長在翌年遽然長逝，未能親眼目睹大學會堂動工。

為表揚林博士的無私奉獻，校董會決定把興建禮堂計劃擴展成更大型的工程——興建林子豐博士紀念大樓，並寄望大學會堂落成後，會成為大學和鄰近社區的文化中心，把大學師生和附近的居民聯繫起來。現在，林子豐博士紀念大樓內設有會堂、大堂、貴賓房及多處可作展覽的位置，而會堂則設有1,346個座位。
