An Exciting New Addition Coming Soon
Construction is well underway on the Arrillaga Student Center. A stunning new 3-story facility at the heart of our campus, the ASC will feature an expansive dining hall, health /wellness center, bookstore, classrooms, new sixth-grade community, a meditation space/tea house, and nearly 20,000 square feet of event and programmatic space with unobstructed views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline. It will be an engaging and inviting gathering space for the entire school community and visitors. Here, students, parents, faculty/staff, alumni, and friends will come together to learn, dine, collaborate, and celebrate while developing bonds that will last a lifetime. Construction of the center is scheduled to be completed in late 2025.
Community and Culture Fund Description

Plans are already underway to equip the Arrillaga Student Center with emerging technologies, advanced audio/visual systems, special furnishings, and any equipment needed to support the physical and mental health of our students, faculty and staff.

“What immediately sets the Arrillaga Student Center apart, as seen from any angle, is that it’s not just another building to fulfill a needed function, but a physical embodiment of ‘Iolani School’s spirit and energy. It moves, it stirs emotion, it invites everyone in. It’s not a generic, but rather, a very site-specific extension of the spiritual and social center of the school. It has a well-formed relationship with the environment, giving users the choice to not just be inside or outside, but a range of contexts, all while being visually connected to the campus and the Honolulu setting. That’s what sets it apart and will make it a landmark building in Honolulu!” David Herjeczki, Principal, Gensler Architects
