Completed in 2023, this 30,000sqft addition to Waipahu High School is not only impressive to look at, but the function within the school’s mission is such a great asset to the community, our keiki, and the future of Oahu.

“One of the largest high schools in the State of Hawaii, Waipahu is a College and Career Ready Smaller Learning Communities High School where students enroll in one of six pathways: Arts and Communication, Business Services, Health Services, Industrial Engineering Technology, Natural Resources, Public and Human Services. With sustainability as the backbone of our master planning effort, we worked with the school to craft a plan that will help them make incremental steps to make their campus more efficient, sustainable and comfortable in this hot, dry part of the island. Key strategies include maximizing opportunities for outdoor learning, implementing better stormwater strategies, reducing potable water, making the landscapes more active, improving energy efficiency and maximizing passive strategies…” – WRNS
