Wah Yan College, Hong Kong - Campus

Campus

The campus at 281 Queens Road East, Wan Chai has an area of about 20,000 m² (220,000 square feet), located on a small hill known as Mount Parish. It was designed by the late Professor Gordon Brown, the founder of the Architecture Faculty of Hong Kong University.

Completed in 1955, the school has seven main buildings:

  • Classroom Block (partly reconstructed after a landslide in 1992)
  • Laboratory Block
  • Administration Wing
  • Chapel
  • Hall
  • Gordon Wu Hall (completed in 1987)
  • SIP Building, or New Annex (completed in 2005 as phases I and II of the School Development Project)

The Classroom Block, Laboratory Block and Administration Wing are linked together.

Since the campus' completion in 1955, it has undergone three major changes: the addition of Gordon Wu Hall in 1987, the reconstruction of six classrooms from 1992–98, and the School Development Project launched in 2003. The school is rebuilding the hall into a multi-storey complex, with a much larger hall which will be able to hold all the students at the same time (the hall can currently accommodate about 500 students).
