Chaminade University

Chaminade University was expanding and in need of additional classroom and office space in time for the Fall 2001 semester. Group 70 International Inc. worked closely with Hawaii Modular Space to design two modular buildings for the campus.

Located on the upper slope of the campus, the new complex has a sprawling view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. The design preserves the character of the Spanish Mission-style architecture of the existing campus buildings.

Behavioral Science Building (Second Phase)
Eight modules make up this 5,607 square-foot school building which includes two classrooms, nineteen offices, lunchroom, copy room, men's and women's handicap accessible restrooms, telephone closet and storage rooms.

The exterior siding is Hardipanel "stucco" style with skirting to match, painted to blend with the existing stucco campus buildings. Windows are vinyl half sliders, mulled and grided. The architectural design of the roof includes a Spanish-parapet detail along the length of the modules. Vinyl wrap sheet rock finishes the interior walls, and carpets cover all floors except the restrooms and break room. The ceiling is a suspended T-grid throughout. An ADA compliant ramp was added for easy access to the building's main entrance.

Student Support Services (First Phase)
This 2,883 square-foot building was designed to accommodate Chaminade's new Learning Support Center Department: a career services counseling department, and the department's faculty offices. A covered walkway with columns and a Spanish ceramic-style tiled shed roof add to the mission look of the design. The interior layout includes a large area in the middle of the building for students to use computer stations and meet with counselors. There are seven faculty offices, a conference room/break room and a copy room. The exterior windows are horizontal half sliders with grids to coordinate with the architectural style.
