University of Hawaii College of Education Project
Site Master Plan and Project Development Report
2010
Scope of Work
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The University of Hawaii-Manoa through its Office of Financial and Physical
Management (OFPM) and its College of Education (COE) wish to have a study and
business plan conducted that sets out a site master plan for re-developing the COE
Campus, to expand and renovate certain of its existing 50-year-old facilities and to
integrate other compatible uses in order: (1) to fulfill its mission as Hawaii's only
accredited college for educational programs to work as a diverse, just, and democratic
community in teaching, research and service as well as to enhance the well-being of
Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Basin people, through education; (2) to accommodate
the changing demographics in student enrollment; (3) to expand existing and new
programs that serve UH, state, national, and international communities; and (4) to be a
leader in innovative teaching techniques for the next century in education programs. The
Campus encompasses approximately 15.43 contiguous acres and approximately
177,000sf of building space in multiple permanent and temporary structures on the UH
Manoa campus.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
The COE is the cornerstone of Hawaii’s educational community. The COE is primarily
responsible for preparing the teaching force for the state, providing leadership training at
the master’s and doctoral levels, and providing specialized training in other selected areas.
The College’s faculty members provide professional development opportunities, conduct
research, and provide community service in their areas of expertise. The doctoral
programs within the College include educational psychology and a college-wide degree
with specializations in curriculum and instruction, educational foundations, educational
administration, educational policy, educational technology, kinesiology, and special
education. Classes are interactive, practical and informative. Programs include extensive
partnerships with local schools. The College is a leader in distance education within
Hawaii and nationally. The diverse faculty and staff share a common goal: to advance
and generate knowledge in the fields of education, human development, educational
administration, assessment, evaluation, research, technology, special education, and other
education related disciplines.
The COE consists of approximately 1,600 students, 300 faculty and staff, 8 academic
departments, and 2 research units. It offers 5 undergraduate degrees, 18 graduate degrees
and 3 certificates.

The COE is Hawaii’s only nationally recognized teacher education program by the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and was ranked in
the top 50 Best Graduate Schools in Education by US News in 2011.

preside over client meetings, facilitate communication among team members,
facilitate reports, manage the consultants and schedule, advise on development
issues, advise on non-educational related uses for the site, prepare a cost budget,
advise on funding sources, recommend project delivery systems, and assist on
internal and external marketing of the master site plan.
3. Site & Space Program Development: Group 70, GMR's lead design consultant
will assist UHM to develop and/or confirm a site and space program for this
project. The program is intended to guide the conceptual design and provide an
approximate gross square footage for estimating the cost of the project. A more
detailed program document will be developed during subsequent phases. The
program will be developed through a series of meetings with UHM stakeholders
including faculty, program directors, administrators (including the Dean), students,
and staff. The program development may also involve travel to new educational
campuses on the U.S. mainland. Any travel shall be done in consultation with the
COE. Deliverables: draft space program and final space program.
4. Facility Assessment: GMR through its A&E sub-consultants will assess the
general characteristics of the existing project site, UHS Building #3 and the
Multipurpose Building which is slated for renovation and/or expansion,
surrounding area, traffic and pedestrian circulation, adjacent landmarks, and wind,
solar, and rainfall conditions. Towards this effort, GMR will work with UH to
gather existing plans as well as conduct site reconnaissance. Deliverables: site
assessment report.
5. Project Management Meetings: GMR and Group 70 will participate in periodic
management meetings with a UHM Project Committee made up of
representatives from OFPM and COE to plan and coordinate the project. The
COE Dean and the COE Senate Budget and Facilities Committee may be
periodically invited to attend and participate in project management meetings.
Meeting minutes will be a collaborative effort with the PC being the primary
client.
6. Visioning Charrette: Group 70 will facilitate the Group 70 Charrette process that
will identify and define and/or clarify the project vision. GMR will participate in
the charrette. The COE Senate Budget and Facilities Committee, faculty, staff,
students, alumni and the University Lab School faculty, staff, parents, alumni and
local school board shall be invited to participate. Deliverables: Charrette notes.
7. Initial Concept Design: Group 70 will create an initial conceptual design, which
incorporates the Charrette vision and program requirements. Deliverables:
conceptual site plan, and floor plans.
4
8. Final Site & Concept Design: Based input from the Project Committee and
Charrette participants, Group 70 will revise and create a final conceptual Master
Site Plan and a Project Development Report. Deliverables: final conceptual site
plan, floor plans, space program, and building sections.
9. Rendering: Group 70 will create one aerial rendering plus 5 3 renderings (in hard
copy and e-format) that capture the project vision and design concepts. The fee
for these renderings are included in the basic compensation. Should additional
renderings be requested by UHM, they shall be provided at a unit cost stated in
the Compensation and Payment Schedule attachment to the Agreement.
Deliverable: One aerial rendering plus 5 3 renderings.
10. Concept Phasing Plan: GMR working with Group 70 will develop a phasing
plan for the conceptual design sequential development of the project.
Deliverables: conceptual plans.
11. Preliminary Schedule: GMR with input from Group 70 will develop a
preliminary project schedule that delineates a preliminary timeline of events
necessary to bring the project to completion. Deliverable: project schedule.
12. Presentations: GMR and Group 70 will make presentations of the final concept
design to the UHM COE and University of Hawaii Manoa leadership including
the Campus Facilities Planning Board (CFPB), Faculty Senate, Chancellor and
Board of Regents. GMR and Group 70 will also make two presentations each to
the COE Senate Budget and Facilities Committee, to the UHM Campus Design
Advisory Panel and to the UHM Landscape Committee (once after the initial
concept plan and once after the final plan is completed). GMR and Group 70 may
also make formal presentations to the neighbors and two Neighborhood Boards.
The NB presentations may be preceded by an informal briefing meeting with the
board chairs. A total of 17 14presentations are anticipated. A power-point
presentation will be prepared for the meetings with COE, UHM Leadership
(CFPB), Campus Design Committee, NB, Faculty Senate, Chancellor and Board
of Regents. Deliverables: After the final plan is completed 3 power-point
presentations: 1 to COE, 1 to UH Manoa Leadership, and 1 to the Campus Design
Committee. Consultant Coordination: GMR will coordinate with its subconsultants as necessary to deliver the task described above.
13. Project Reports: GMR will have prepared an interim report and a final report
that defines the conceptual scope of the project as described below. Deliverables:
12 bound copies each of the interim and final reports and 12 CD/DVDs.
a. COE Site Master Plan – including site plan, conceptual drawings,
supporting documents (needs assessment, historical preservation
considerations/context, consultant’s reports including a traffic study,
recommendation for build-out, phasing, etc).
