HI SCR146

Requests the Department of Education, a school of architecture with a community design studio, and Kula Kaiapuni O Anuenue to form a partnership to develop a proof of concept plan and design for a gymnasium at the school.

Notes that Kula Kaiapuni O Anuenue currently lacks a gymnasium despite student participation in State Student Council activities and athletic events through the Oahu Interscholastic Association.

Identifies community design studio courses as an appropriate vehicle for doctorate-level architecture students to engage in professional research and design projects that benefit specific communities.

Proposes that the Anuenue gymnasium project could serve as a model partnership for future state planning and design projects across multiple state agencies.

Requires certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Board of Education Chairperson, Superintendent of Education, and Principal of Kula Kaiapuni O Anuenue.
