HONOLULU (KHON2) — A new $70 million, state-of-the-art learning center dormitory at UH Mānoa is on track to open for the fall semester.

Construction is still underway for the two six-story buildings.

In addition to the single and double-style dorm rooms, each floor will have a community kitchen; and there will be a café on the ground floor of the building.

There are more than $500,000 in scholarships available for students who choose to live at “Rise”. This includes up to $6,000 for the Pace Leaders program.

Officials said the project will welcome its first student residents in August for the fall 2023 semester.
