University of Hawai'i West Oahu Campus Administration and Allied Health Building

In collaboration with KYA Design Group and Perkins & Will, REDI led the nonpotable water infrastructure design for the new UH West Oahu Campus Administration and Allied Health Building. REDI designed onsite greywater reclamation systems that collect and treat the building's sink water and air conditioning condensate recovery for reuse as irrigation. In addition to stormwater management, a rainwater catchment system and four bioretention gardens were designed to manage stormwater from the parking lots, roads and building roof. As part of the water conservation strategies, REDI also developed a conceptual soil restoration plan, since the building site is on former plantation agricultural lands where much of the topsoil has been lost. The goal was to rebuild carbon and nitrogen back into the soils using select interim plants. The project met LEED Gold status and was awarded three AIA design awards.
