Building a ‘campus town’
Also high on Lassner’s final agenda is developing a roughly 14-acre parcel that will be freed on the ewa side of the Manoa campus after the UH College of Education moves across University Avenue and is more closely integrated with the buildings and academics of the larger Manoa campus.
“That is a perfect location to put what I will call ‘campus town,’” Lassner said. “If you’ve visited other (mainland) campuses, it is a very common thing — you walk across the street from the campus and there’s shops and bars and cafes … some housing, some parking, but really a center for life after 4:30 (p.m.). We can create it with private dollars. And we can start that planning now.”
