The 70,000-square-foot Life Sciences building officially opened for the fall semester of 2020 on UH Mānoa’s iconic McCarthy Mall. The facility was designed to support 21st century modes of learning and discovery, serving undergraduate and graduate students as well as world class researchers. The UHCDC team focused on selecting flexible, mobile, and durable furnishings for student collaboration areas, study zones, private offices, and primary lobby spaces.
