The World Language Center (WLC) is a new 21st Century School facility designed to enhance the existing campus’ functionality and set a new standard for the Hawai’i State Department of Education’s (DOE) school construction projects. The most unique aspect of this building is the integration of its natural and learning environments. All Classrooms are passively ventilated and have a variety of instructional spaces both within and without. Overall, the project’s design was informed by a series of planning workshops facilitated by the architect and attended by select community members, DOE
Facilities administrators, Niu Valley Middle School (NVMS) staff, and students.
