PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REPORT<br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />

A. Project Description<br />

The Physical Facilities, Planning and Construction Office for the <strong>Community</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>s of the University of Hawaii has contracted LEO A DALY to prepare a<br />

Project <strong>Development</strong> Report (PDR) for The Learning Resource Center at<br />

<strong>Windward</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> in Kaneohe, Hawaii. The proposed facility will<br />

house the <strong>Library</strong>, The Learning Center (TLC), Computing Services, Instructional<br />

Media Services, and administrative and support areas. These departments are<br />

currently located in separate facilities throughout the campus, and will be<br />

integrated into a new single facility which will optimize space and staff through<br />

efficient sharing of common areas.<br />

A Plan Review Use (PRU) application and related Master Plan documents were<br />

approved by a Resolution of the City and County Council of Honolulu in 1994.<br />

The Learning Resource Center is envisioned as a two-three-story structure with<br />

sloped clay tile roofs and a stucco exterior in keeping with the Spanish<br />

Mediterranean architectural style already established on the campus. The<br />

proposed facility is located on the same site designated in the approved Master<br />

Plan for the campus. The proposed net floor area is approximately 63,000<br />

square feet; projected gross floor area is approximately 81,793 square feet.<br />

B. Objectives of the Project <strong>Development</strong> Report<br />

The Project <strong>Development</strong> Report has the following goals:<br />

established in the Educational Specifications.<br />

• to prepare an architectural design concept implementing the Program Plan,<br />

which is compliant with guidelines for governmental regulations and<br />

standards for accessibility, as well as compliance with historical, aesthetic,<br />

environmental, sustainable and utility considerations.<br />

• to prepare a preliminary cost estimate for both the design and the<br />

construction of The Learning Resource Center.<br />

• to publish a report documenting the planning and design criteria.<br />

• to accomplish all of the above within the guidelines and provisions of the<br />

approved Plan Review Use resolution and related Five-Year Master Plan and<br />

Urban Design Guidelines for <strong>Windward</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
