背景 Background

梅堂於一九一五年一月一日啟用,是香港大學直接管理的第三座學生宿舍,以港大第二任校監、香港第十五任總督梅含理爵士命名。一九四一年香港保衛戰期間,梅堂為教職員與學生的主要居所;一九四二年元旦,港大在梅堂舉行集會,向十四名於日軍來襲時應考期末試的醫科生頒授戰時學位。一九六六年暴雨導致毗鄰山坡山泥傾瀉,兩堂須疏散修葺,其後併入一九六九年啟用的「舊堂」,一九九二年恢復原名。梅堂由Denison, Ram and Gibbs設計,為三層紅磚樓,飾以弧形山花及多立克柱頭。二零一八年列為法定古蹟。

May Hall opened on 1 January 1915 as the third student residence managed directly by the University of Hong Kong, named after Sir Francis Henry May, its second Chancellor and Hong Kong's fifteenth Governor. During the Battle of Hong Kong in December 1941 it housed staff and students, and on New Year's Day 1942 a university congregation there granted wartime degrees to fourteen medical students who had sat their finals as the Japanese attacked. A landslide in June 1966 forced its evacuation, and in 1969 it was merged into the Old Halls; the name May Hall returned in 1992. Designed by Denison, Ram and Gibbs, it is a three-storey red-brick building with curved pediments, Doric columns and pitched double-tiled Chinese roofs. It was declared a monument in 2018.
