Center for Workforce Excellence

Written By UHCDC

In 2017-2018 the University of Hawaiʻi Community Design Center (UHCDC) worked with the University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges (UHCC) to produce a proof of concept (POC) program and design for a Center for Workforce Excellence, to house UHCC classroom and administrative spaces, DOE offices, and Wahiawā State Library functions. In 2021, the state appropriated $42 million for the planning, design, and construction of the project, which will be managed by DOE. The update to the project included revisiting the proof of concept programs and designs to reflect recent discussions involving an expanded program, new partners, and design revisions based on the feedback generated from the original proof of concept design study.
