Kihei High School on Maui is slated to become the Hawaii Department of Education’s (HIDOE) first net-zero school and HIDOE Maui’s first Hawaii-Collaborative for High Performance Schools (HI-CHPS) project.
The school will serve grades 9 through 12 and be located on more than 77 acres of undeveloped land. The campus will comprise multiple buildings and approximately 215,000-sf. It will support an enrollment capacity of 1,650 students and 206 supporting faculty and staff.

Among the school’s buildings will be a gymnasium, classhouse, library and cafeteria, and an administration building. A football field and surrounding track and buildings for electives will also be incorporated.
G70 is the architect, planner, and civil engineer of record and was hired HIDOE by the HIDOE to design and obtain permits for the project. Groundbreaking on the first phase of the site’s infrastructure construction began in January 2016 and is wrapping up 100% design. The building design is about 40% complete and phase I of the building package will be bid around April 2018.
