In addition to providing institutional support to construct The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex, the Trust has also been instrumental in renovating The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Heritage Courtyard and Interpretation Centre and creating The Hong Kong Jockey Club Program on Social Innovation which resides on the Hong Kong Campus.
