About the Chu Centre

The Chu Centre, located in the International and Graduate Affairs Building, is a bright, glass-enclosed space overlooking a serene forest setting. The Centre was created in 2009 through a $1-million donation from the Chu family. The Chu Centre provides space for many international and intercultural events each year - from student events and workshops to speakers, meetings and social events. 

The late Dr. David S.H. Chu and his son Ken founded the Mission Hills Group in Hong Kong - the largest golf complex in the world. Ken Chu graduated from Western in 1996 and received an honorary degree in 2007.
