About Us
Purplish red and light yellow are the colors of walls outside HSBC Prosperity Hall. In the centre, there are two ancient Chinese characters 「業昕」, which is the Chinese name of this hall, surrounded by the letter "HSBC Prosperity hall" and "City University of Hong Kong".
This hall was named by City University of Hong Kong together with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited(HSBC), the sponsoring organisation of this hall.
「業」(Yip) is taken from our school motto 「敬業樂群」 (Officium et Civitas), which means devoting oneself to his or her work and appreciating people around. 「昕」(Yan) means rising sun, representing vigour and vitality. The name 業昕 implies that we are sparing no effort to cultivate our residents to be pillars of society, in dignity and honour as stated in the school motto, so they can make significant contributions to our community.
