The University of Hawaii will begin construction in early 2019 on the Academy for Creative Media in Kapolei. Located on the UH West Oahu campus, the 42,000-sf facility will provide sophisticated production spaces including a two-story sound stage, editing and mixing suites, a 100-seat screening room, and a maker space for set building and 3D printing. The 24-hour center will also include flexible classrooms, collaboration spaces, an emerging media lab for advanced interactive cyber visualization applications, and a student business incubator. The $33 million design-build contract for the project was awarded to Next Design and Kiewit Building Group. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2020.
