Today, we had the pleasure of attending a Masonry Institute of Hawaii luncheon to celebrate our classroom building being named as their Project of the Year!
Kendall Ellingwood and Kanako Suzuki from our architectural firm, Design Partners, Inc. prepared this p
resentation about the project. Their photos really show the uniqueness of our building, and I think that everyone was impressed with the vibrant interior colors as well as the functionality and very professional-looking exterior. I know that many of our visitors, when seeing the new buildings, are surprised that they are looking at a school. I learned new information, too, about why
concrete blocks are the material of choice for its versatility, sustainability, and efficiency.
Here are some photos from the luncheon and award presentation.
