ARCH 416: Advanced Design Studio
The University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges (UHCC) Wahiawā Value-Added Product Development Center (WVAPDC) is a project of Leeward Community College and the State of Hawaiʻi contributing to the growth of Hawaiʻi's agricultural industry and entrepreneurial community through: premier educational programming to students and community members, empowering Hawaiʻi's entrepreneurial ecosystem for generations to come; increase opportunities for local farmers and growers to sell their products to value-added producers; supporting local entrepreneurs to incubate their business through access to small business resources; production kitchens and in-house product and process development.
The goal is to expand the WVAPDC on a parcel adjacent to the current facility. This work was incubated in the ARCH 416 studio where students developed research, talk to stakeholders, and develop program and design schemes shared with UHCC and VAPDC stakeholders for input.
