沿著陡峭的灣仔峽道，或從合和中心旁的賢華街梯級拾級而上，您將會遇見一座不顯眼的白色外牆建築，四周被住宅樓宇環繞。這就是樹仁在灣仔峽道七號的校舍。該校舍於1972年啟用，正值社會對教育需求日益增加之際，校方購入作為樹仁書院中學部的新校址，提供英文中學課程，為學生的學術發展開闢了新的道路，並與大專教育銜接。

在1970年代，接受高等教育的機會相對有限，返讀夜間中學的情況相當普遍。無論是為了提升前途還是追求個人理想，許多人白天工作，晚上上學。當時灣仔夜校林立，而校舍前身為維多利亞書院，也是一所同時提供英文教育及大學預科班的夜校中學。樹仁書院中學部於1993年停止辦學，但仍保留教育用途，借予聖迦利亞預科書院，直至2005年。

隨著樹仁大學在2006年成功正名為大學，招生人數持續上升，寶馬山校園的課室逐漸顯得不敷應用。為了應對這一挑戰，灣仔校舍於2007年經過翻新與改建，重新成為樹仁大學的第二個研習之地。至2017年，寶馬山校園持續進行擴建，增設了研究院大樓等全新設施，最終使灣仔校舍在翌年的運作中光榮退役。

【Things you might not be aware of about Shue Yan Campus on Wan Chai Gap Road】

As you walk up the steep Wan Chai Gap Road or climb the Yen Wah Steps next to the Hopewell Centre, you will find a modest white building hidden among the high-rises. This is the Shue Yan University campus at 7 Wan Chai Gap Road. It opened in 1972 to meet the growing demand for education, serving as the secondary section of Shue Yan College.

In the 1970s, opportunities for higher education in Hong Kong were scarce, prompting many to attend evening classes. People juggled day jobs while pursuing their dreams at night. Wan Chai was bustling with night schools, including the former Victoria College, which provided English education and university preparatory classes. Although the secondary section of the Shue Yan College was closed in 1993, it continued its educational mission by hosting St. Gloria College until 2005.

In 2006, Shue Yan College was granted a university title which led to a surge in enrolment and a pressing need for more facilities at the Braemar Hill campus. To address this, the Wan Chai campus was refurbished and transformed into a second learning hub for Shue Yan University. Meanwhile, the Braemar Hill campus continued to grow, adding new facilities like the Research Institute Building, allowing the Wan Chai Gap campus to retire with pride.
