University of Hawaii Builds Cancer Research Center

Published 11/2/2012

The University of Hawaii at Manoa is building the $103 million Cancer Research Center in Honolulu. Designed by Shimokawa Nakamura in partnership with ZGF Architects and Jacobs Consultancy, the five-story, 150,000-sf facility will provide advanced biomedical research laboratories and offices. The lead contractor is A.C. Kobayashi Construction of Honolulu. Ground was broken on the project in October of 2010 and occupancy is expected in February of 2013. A $16 million shell space addition to the east side of the center will be constructed due to the project coming in under the original budget ($119 million) in the final phase of construction. LEED Silver sustainable design certification will be sought for the facility, which includes a chilled beam system, a green roof, and lighting sensors.
