Pre-Bid Conference & Site Walk-Through

Today, potential bidders attended the pre‑bid conference and job site walk‑through for the Library and Learning Center Windward Community College Project No. UH 06-W50. Bidders will have until 2:30pm on January 20, 2010 to submit their bids (details). 

We anticipate the project will start in February or March with the deconstruction of the building in the picture, Hale Manaleo.

Going Out To Bid

Soon the bidding process for construction on the building will begin.

Starting next week, interested contractors will receive detailed plans and specifications. They'll meet with planners and take a pre-bid walk-through of the building site. We expect their quotes to be submitted in late January, with demolition work beginning as early as February or March.

UPDATE: The Notice to Bidders has been posted to the State of Hawaii website. 11/30/2009

Virtual Fly-Thru of Hawaiian Room

This clip from Architects Hawaii illustrates one conceptual layout for the Hawaiian Collection Room in the new building. The room will allow easy access to materials related to Hawaii. The plans call for a prominent display of WCC's pahu - though the drum in this simulation appears much larger than the actual one.

Updated Virtual Fly Through

Architects Hawaii recently updated its first virtual fly-through. As with the first, it helps us visualize the new building as we continue the planning process. Like the original, it provides a short tour, highlighting ideas for the main entrance, Information Commons, main book stacks, atrium, and building exterior.

We have begun making more detailed specifications about furniture, electrical placement, and equipment needs.

Updated Virtual Fly Through

First Virtual Fly-Through

Architects Hawaii prepared this preliminary virtual fly-through to help us visualize the new building as we continue the planning process. The short tour highlights the initial concepts for the main entrance, Information Commons, main book stacks, the atrium, and the building exterior.

We're looking forward to interior design planning, which includes choosing the type and layout of furniture, optimal equipment placement, and more.
