The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex | The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex | The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong is revitalized from part of the military relics of the Jubilee Battery and the Victoria Road Detention Centre, the latter of which was converted from the associated buildings of the Jubilee Battery. The Jubilee Battery, built in the 1930s, played an important role in Hong Kong's western coastal defense during the Second World War. The Victoria Road Detention Centre, originally the Royal Engineers' mess and quarters, was converted into a detention centre in the 1960s and was later used as a "safe house" for witness protection. The detention centre remained unoccupied from 1997 until it was revitalized in 2013 to become part of the university campus. The Centre was the filming location of the movie "2046" (2004).
