Honolulu Museum of Art School Improvements

The Linekona School building, originally built in 1908, has a fascinating history of being used as a school and a gathering place for special events. The project included renovation of art studios and infrastructural improvements to support the art education program’s vision: to create student-centric classes that interest a broad array of audiences. This also involved the expansion of the kiln house to create a new Art Learning Center with glazing studio and outdoor courtyard. The scope also included significant roof, concrete lintel, and stair repairs required for maintaining this historic structure.

Education

Kaimuki Christian School Phase II, Clarence T.C. Ching Education Center

KCS covers grades K through 12 as well as three years of Preschool. The scope of this phase of the school’s expansion included additional classrooms and dedicated enrichment learning spaces for art and music. The band and choral music rooms were specially designed for acoustics. This project also provided centralized administrative offices and teachers workroom. New restrooms for students were incorporated into the design as well as bathrooms with showers as a new amenity.

Construction was closely monitored and handled with care because of its close proximity to existing classes that were in session. At every phase, utmost consideration for the students, faculty, and staff, as well as the KCS mission—to educate each child to their God-intended potential—was kept at the forefront.
