A suggested tribute

While I agree that naming (or renaming) a mountain and donating to Sir Edmund Hillary's Nepalese projects is a worthwhile suggestion to commenarate his life, I have a suggestion as a tribute.

It will fit with Sir Ed's desire to keep his commenaration low-key, and money normally allocated can go to his charitable work in Nepal. All it would take is a small cost of adding some new signage, and updating stationery (when the existing supplies are used up). It also fits in well with Sir Ed's early career as an apiarist before his mountaineering exploits.

My idea is to rename Parliament Building's Executive Wing (commonly called "The Beehive") as the Sir Edmund Hillary Executive Wing.

There is already in Wellington a Kate Sheppard Place, a Rutherford building, plus numerous buildings named after politicians (although Sir Apirana Ngata seems to have been missed out) so not naming a landmark after Sir Ed seems a shame.
