Partnerships have provided support to expand services, construct new buildings and address improving health outcomes. The Health Center was developed by the community, for the community, and the majority of its board of directors are from the community. In 2010, WCCHC served nearly 29,000 patients, with 67 percent at or below the federal poverty level. In its 40th year in business, WCCHC had 540 employees at the main center in Wai‘anae and four satellite clinics in surrounding areas, including Kapolei and Waipahu. When it was first established, WCCHC had one doctor and five staff members. Not only does the resulting space perform more efficiently, but it also meets the functional needs of its new tenant.Ī beautiful homage to a seminal structure in Hawaii’s history, the resulting HDCC headquarters maintains the character of the building while ushering it into the 21st century.The Wai‘anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC), founded in 1972, is a community health center serving the healthcare needs of the Wai‘anae Coast on the west side of O‘ahu, in the U.S. We also replaced windows to attain better thermal acoustic performance, all while preserving the existing structure’s ogee moldings to honor the original appearance. To maximize natural light, perimeter offices retained their 12-foot ceiling height, shared spaces were moved to the core of the 2nd and 3rd floors to maximize daylight for open offices, plus occupancy and daylight sensor controls were employed in individual offices.
We restored the historic lobby, grand staircase, terracotta balustrade and roughly 2,000 square feet of wood block flooring. The HDCC headquarters project showcased our strategic approach to reviving a quintessential Hawaii landmarks. Our comprehensive renovation restored the building to its former glory while modernizing-and maximizing the energy efficiency of-a local landmark for the largest construction company in Hawaii.
