The highly sustainable, 21st Century Learning campus is designed to be LEED 2009 For Schools Platinum equivalent, and a net-zero energy facility. The project uses cold deep seawater distributed by the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) as a source of chilling for cold-earth agriculture projects. All facilities are oriented for effective daylighting, shading and natural ventilation.
The new campus treats the high school, middle school and public areas as three distinct “small learning communities” organized around a central spine that features an amphitheatre, agriculture and aquaculture project areas, exhibit space and a shark/reef/touch pool.
