Bachman Hall is a historically significant administrative building located on the University of Â鶹´«Ã½ at Mānoa campus in Honolulu, Â鶹´«Ã½. Originally constructed in 1949 and designed by master architect Vladimir Ossipoff, the 26,330-square-foot facility serves as the university’s central administrative hub, housing the Offices of the President and Board of Regents. The building includes executive offices, administrative workspaces, conference rooms, and features historic murals by artist Jean Charlot, adding to its cultural and architectural importance. A comprehensive renovation completed in 2024 upgraded building systems, refreshed interior finishes, and introduced renewable energy features while preserving its historic character.

The building earned LEED Gold certification under LEED v4 BD+C: New Construction for its integration of sustainable strategies that improve performance while maintaining historic integrity. The project emphasizes adaptive reuse by retaining key architectural elements, incorporates water-efficient fixtures that reduce indoor water use by over 37% and outdoor demand by 33%, and improves energy performance by approximately 44.8% through high-efficiency systems and a 47 kW photovoltaic array. Additional features include reduced light pollution, a reflective roof to mitigate heat island effects, environmentally preferable materials, dedicated recycling areas, and enhanced indoor environmental quality through low-emitting materials, ASHRAE-compliant ventilation, and occupant-controlled lighting and thermal comfort systems.
