About Swire

 

Hall Name

 

At around 1980, The Swire Group sponsored the building of a new residential hall in the eastern extremity of the campus. Because of the sponsorship, the new student residence was named Swire Building. The building was officially opened by Mr. John Anthony Swire, C.B.E. on 11th November 1980.

 

Hall Colour

 

In the first open day of Swire Hall, orange was used as the background colour. Luckily, no other halls used orange as their hall colour. Hence, in 1983, orange was chosen to be the hall colour of Swire Hall in the second Annual General Meeting.

 

Hall Motto

 

Unity and Sincerity

 

Hall Cheers and Songs

 

Cheers are a unique tradition of our hall. Like the Hall Song, we cheer only during special occasions such as the end of inter-hall competitions. Cheers are also a wonderful way to show others our spirit and unity. Currently, we have 13 cheers and songs in use.
