Relocation of Communications and Academy of Creative Media at the Manoa Campus

Honolulu, Hawaii

The goal of this project was to relocate the Academy for Creative Media (ACM) and the School of Communications (Comm) programs back on the University of Hawaii Manoa campus into the Sinclair Library. This project improves the campus experience at the University of Hawaii, and provides students with flexible spaces for learning and collaborating. The relocation of ACM and Comm to the Sinclair Library involved moving the current programs and materials to the Hamilton Library. To accommodate displaced Sinclair Library archives and Wong A/V materials, new partitioned spaces were constructed at the first and second floors of the Hamilton Library. In order for the relocations to occur, a definitive phased sequence of work for this Design-Build project was needed to minimize impact and accommodate the various affected departments.
