The ground-breaking ceremony of the construction of S.H. Ho College was held on 15 December 2008. The ceremony was officiated by Dr. Ho Tzu-cho, David, Chairman of The S.H. Ho Foundation and Dr. Ho Tsu-leung, Director of The S.H. Ho Foundation. In attendance were about 60 members of the University and supporters of the College including Sir and Lady Lee Quo-wei. This new "home" for the students is expected to be completed after two years.
 

S.H. Ho College was established with generous donations from The S.H. Ho Foundation which was set up by the Ho Family. "We very much embrace the same collegiate ideal as The Chinese University of Hong Kong and enthusiastically support the establishment of the new S.H. Ho College," said Dr. Ho Tzu-cho, David. "We consider The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the S.H. Ho College as our long-term partners in cultivating young minds who are keen to learn, share and contribute to society in times of bloom and adversity."

The College is expected to accept its first cohort of students in the fall of 2010, and will accommodate a total of 600 students on a fully residential basis. All S.H. Ho College students as well as the Master will reside and dine in the College. Professor Sun Sai-ming, Samuel, Master Designate of S.H. Ho College, said. "S.H. Ho College will strive to provide a homely setting, so that its students and teachers can learn, develop, and grow together in a caring, supportive, interacting, and stimulating environment, like a seed in fertile soil which germinates, grows, develops, and flourishes."

CUHK and the College are also grateful for the munificent support from the Wei Lun Foundation, Ho Tim Foundation, Chan Chun Ha Charitable Trust, Wu Yee Sun Charitable Foundation and Young Chi Wan Foundation for its development.
