| The dorm aims to reflect a strong Hawaiian style by incorporating indigenous plants and attractive outdoor spaces and courtyard. Minimized windows and natural ventilation makes this facility more environmentally sustainable. It is the first of three dormitories planned to meet the demand for student housing since the increase in enrollment at UH Manoa. Frear Hall is the first new housing on the UH Campus in three decades. Valued at $70 million, this 12-story student housing facility replaces the original 54-year-old Frear Hall which has been demolished. Frear Hall, adds more than 800 additional beds. This project obtained LEED® Certification (Silver). Notkin Hawaii Inc. provided mechanical design services for air conditioning, ventilation, plumbing, and fire protection systems. Construction was completed in 2008, in time for the new academic year. American Campus Communities, a Texas-based developer, along with a team of local consultants, including architectural consultants at CDS International, are working to bring a new standard of living for the students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. |
