The building exterior includes DFS finish and standing seam metal roofing.The project site is located directly beside an Olympic-sized pool in full operation throughout the construction.
• The Middle School includes the abatement and demolition of nine existing structures, followed by the construction of a new middle school and administration building encompassing 113,000 sq. ft.. Structures include a 3-storyl, open-learning, classroom building, a 2-story administration/cafeteria/band building, and a single-story chiller plant. Structural work involves continuous and spread concrete footings, slab-on-grade, precast planks with concrete topping, suspended slabs, cast-in-place concrete walls, and CMU walls. The building exterior includes DFS finish and paint at exterior CMU walls, standing seam metal roofing, and aluminum storefronts and windows.
• The Kaiwakiloumoku Hawaiian Cultural Center is the construction of a 20,000 sq. ft., 2-story facility on a 1.63 acre site to be used for education and ceremonies to perpetuate and preserve the Hawaiian culture. The programmed spaces include classrooms, a commercial kitchen, mechanical and electrical rooms, covered parking, large assembly hall, and a 15,000 sq. ft. artificial turf field for ceremonies and outdoor activities. This project requires the heavy rock excavation of a "blue-rock" hill face to accommodate the new construction.
