Ke kula Kaiapuni O ʻĀnuenue Gymnasium

The work of this 7-week research-based graduate level architecture studio represents a pilot partnership between the University of Hawaiʻi School of Architecture and the Department of Education (DOE) to develop a proof of concept design for a new multi-purpose gymnasium building for Ke Kula Kaiapuni O’ Ānuenue, the only K-12 Hawaiian language immersion program on Oʻahu. Students worked in partnership with the school, DOE, cultural consultants, design professionals, and engineering and cost consultants to explore the cultural potential and feasibility of the project.
