Student-Centered Design

Hale Kihoʻihoʻi, a state-of-the-art 45,000 square-foot building is the new home of the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy. The building's Hawaiian name represents the restoration of the land after an eruption and lava flow.

Everything that is housed in and comes from this structure is meant to promote a restoration of both the environment and the people of Hawaiʻi, as well as the global community. (Photos by T. Niimi)
