context_page_description: Mount Parish is a hill in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, to the south of Queen's Road East, between Kennedy Road and Stubbs Road.
context_section_description: The campus of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong still stands at the top of the mount and covers an area of 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft). It was completed and officially opened on 27 September 1955 by the then Governor Sir Alexander Grantham, replacing the old campus at Robinson Road. It was designed by Professor Gordon Brown of the University of Hong Kong, containing classrooms, laboratories, a hall and a chapel.
  An extension to the campus was completed in 1987 and named Gordon Wu Hall, after Sir Gordon Wu, a businessman who was an alumnus of the school. In 1992 a landslide at Mount Parish caused the death of a driver, who was buried alive in his car at Kennedy Road. The landslide prompted the rebuilding of six classrooms, to be reopened in 1998. In 2003 the music room was rebuilt into a six-storey complex. A plan to rebuild the hall was proposed in 2011.  Construction work is undergoing.  The old hall will be replaced with a six-storey complex, doubling its original size in terms of land mass.
