This new science and technology center at Mid-Pacific Institute consists of an East and a West Wing separated by a plaza. Due to budget constraints, a conventional pre-cast concrete floor system was utilized for all suspended floors and masonry walls supporting prefabricated wood trusses were utilized to create a Hawaiian style roof. Because of a sloping site, the West Wing basement level was at the same elevation of the East Wing's second floor. Due to these basement conditions, cast-in-place basement walls were utilized for both the East and West Wings.
