The University of Âé¶¹´«Ã½<\/span> will break ground on a major capital improvement project in early 2025 to transform the heart of the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa campus.<\/p>\n

The project on McCarthy Mall has two phases: 1) the construction of a modern, five-story building for interdisciplinary learning and 2) significant upgrades to the iconic tree-lined mall and the Paradise Palms Food Court. It is tentatively scheduled for completion by the fall of 2027.<\/p>\n

“This is one of the most transformational projects for the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa campus in decades,” said UH<\/abbr> President David Lassner.<\/p>\n

“The new academic building will provide modern educational facilities and bring our vibrant College of Education together with collaborators and resources in other schools and colleges. And the project will fully activate McCarthy Mall as a place to actively engage rather than just transit between buildings.”<\/p>\n
