As a cultural showcase, the architectural design and commissioned original art sculptures collection pays tribute to the iconic legends and history of the Waialua Ahupuaa.

Energy-efficient mechanical and lighting systems were selected to produce additional savings.

As a LEED Gold facility, the terminal displays commitment to sustainability and passenger comfort. Use of skylights, high performance glazing and exterior louver systems draw in daylight and prevent heat gain while preserving panoramic views of Hawaii’s landmarks and natural beauty.


A key part of the project's sustainability was the use of eco-shafts, which served as the main structural framing and eliminated the need for interior walls.
