Wikipedia has a good history of the site at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_University_of_Hong_Kong#History

It says that the first college buildings here were those of Chung Chi College, which moved to Ma Liu Shui in 1956.

Later, the new Chinese University was inaugurated in October 1963. Following that, development of the University's campus began, incorporating the existing Chung Chi College.

CU campus on 1971-6-14 almost completed. Students from the 3 colleges of the university were ready to move in. According to United college alumni magazine, United college first opened their student dormitory in 1971-12. Other departments started to move in from 1972-1-3. The last to move in was the science faculty. They moved in 1972-4 from their old campus at Caine Lane.The other colleges also moved in around the same time. Of course Chung Chi College had been there since 1956. They didn't have to move very far if at all.
