Saint Louis, Chaminade plan big building project

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) — Saint Louis School and Chaminade University have submitted a plan review use permit application to Honolulu officials for approval of a new master plan. The schools and the Marianist Center of Hawaii, which owns their campuses, are planning a $60 million-to-$80 million renovation and expansion. It would include a 2,000-seat athletic field house to replace Gerber Field House and a locker room building. There would also be a 228-stall parking structure. Plans also call for three new residence halls with 195 beds and a pool facility for Chaminade University. Chaminade spokeswoman Kapono Ryan says the new dorms would increase university housing to 492 beds, allowing about 40 percent of students to live on campus. (Copyright 2010 Associated Press.
