Tang Chi Ngong Building is a three-storey flat-roofed building with Shanghai plaster surfacing. It was opened in 1931 and made possible with a gift from Mr Tang Chi-Ngong. It was originally used to house the School of Chinese of the University.

The Building is unique in the University for the use of the letter "V" in place of the letter "U" as in "vniversity", reflecting a practice common for Latin stone inscriptions in the 1920s and 1930s. You will find the word "vniversity" appears on the stone arch, the façade, as well as on the stone tablet marking the Building's foundation date.

In 1995, the Building was declared a monument. It now houses the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole.
