Shaw Auditorium: Exciting Possibilities Await

2021-05-20

As the HKUST community is eagerly looking forward to the opening of the Shaw Auditorium, the University’s first multi-purpose auditorium, in November 2021, we have organized an exhibition entitled Shaw Auditorium: Spark of Inspiration to offer a sneak peek at its design concept, cutting-edge sound system, and other top-notch facilities designed for a wide range of arts and cultural activities and large-scale events such as graduation ceremonies!

Featuring a virtual tour, an acoustic booth, and other interesting exhibits, this exhibition will show you the many exciting possibilities that the new landmark can offer to HKUST members and neighboring communities. The exhibition is taking place at the Atrium until June 30, 2021. If you want to know more about the Shaw Auditorium, join us or visit its website!
