KALIHI \u2014 The Hawai\u02bbi State Department of Education (HIDOE), local leaders and alumni broke ground on a $60 million construction project to build a three-story, multi-purpose building that will house Farrington High School\u2019s new gymnasium, music facilities, locker rooms and physical education spaces to serve the school’s nearly 2,100 students. Construction by contractor Ralph S. Inouye Co. Ltd. is anticipated to be completed in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis new gym and music facility will give our students modern, high-quality spaces that support athletics, arts and physical education,\u201d Superintendent Keith Hayashi said. \u201cEach phase of this long-term effort is about more than buildings. It’s creating opportunities and investing in our students\u2019 futures. We\u2019re grateful to our legislators, community leaders, businesses and proud Farrington alumni for helping make this vision a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new gym and music building will be built over the current swimming pool site on the Diamond Head side of campus. Originally constructed in 1955, the pool has remained out of service since 1998 due to extensive repairs and continual maintenance needed.
\u201cWhen people at the state, county and businesses invest in this community, it sends a message to every child who\u2019s going to Farrington that people care about you,\u201d Lt. Governor Sylvia Luke said. \u201cAnd because of that, we expect the most from this community, the school and the students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is part of a long-term, multi-phased modernization plan to renovate and reconfigure the 94-year old campus. Phase I saw the completion of the Edward \u201cSkippa\u201d Diaz Stadium and new training facilities, renovation of the Henry Kusunoki Football Field, and installation of a new synthetic running track in 2017. Phase II will now continue work with the gymnasium and music building. Future phases are contingent on capital improvement funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
