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 />
• to verify, document and refine the space and adjacency requirements<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 />
