In a special summer UrbanPlan Scholars program, four teams presented their proposals for a six-acre parcel next to UH West Oahu. They had to address zoning requirements, affordable housing/workforce housing, rail/transit issues, agriculture, and energy.
UrbanPlan is a global competition run by the international Urban Land Institute. Hawaii schools have taken top honors in the global competition two years in a row, including Iolani School last month, and Iolani and Kalani two years ago.
Teams were made up of local high school students from Iolani, Kalani, LeJardin, MidPac, Punahou, and St. Andrews.
They conducted outreach to stakeholders and residents in West Oahu and found affordable housing to be the number one community need.
Ideas ranged from rooftop greenhouses and beekeeping to fully solar-powered facilities to integrating UHWO student and campus life.
Judges included Bob Harrison (FHB), Duff Janus (ASB), Brennon Morioka (UH), Mike Gabbard (Senate), Jim Houchens (Mitre), and Alana Kobayashi.
Bernice Glenn Bowers helped them plan for future high-tech industry in the area, doubled the size of the cash prize to $1,500.
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!
Site plan for Lakeshore Apartments located at 2220 Elmont Dr., Austin, TX. (COA Case #SP-2011-0114C). Plans were approved in 2011; Construction began late 2011/early 2012.

Pelham Ridge Elementary School was designed by Goodwyn Mills Cawood. Pelham Ridge Elementary is the first new construction school designed for the newly-formed Pelham City School Board. The new elementary school is a two-story brick and stone building with wood elements, which reflects the desired character and materiality of the existing schools in the district. Pelham Ridge incorporates a variety of learning environments in addition to the typical classroom. These supplemental learning spaces include two “break-out” learning spaces, a flexible classroom, and two courtyards. Two of the classroom wings adjacent to the courtyards are designed to function as storm shelters and meet the Alabama Building Commission’s state standard for storm shelters, ICC 500.

Lake Havasu (near Parker, Arizona) to Lake Mathews (near Corona, California)
Constructed 1933-1941
Stretching 242 miles from the Colorado River on the California-Arizona border to its final holding reservoir near Riverside, California, the Colorado River Aqueduct consists of more than 90 miles of tunnels, nearly 55 miles of cut-and-cover conduit, almost 30 miles of siphons, and five pumping stations. Supplying approximately 1.2 million acre-feet of water a year - more than a billion gallons a day - it helped make possible the phenomenal growth of Los Angeles, San Diego, and surrounding Southern California areas in the second half of the 20th century.
Funded by a bond issue of $220 million approved by voters in 1931, the Colorado River Aqueduct is capable of lifting more than 1,600 cubic feet of water per second to a static height of 1,600 feet as it travels over several desert mountain ranges. Recognizing the project's unprecedented length, cost, pumping rate, lift, and severe climate and terrain, the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1955 selected it as one of Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders.
Facts
- Following the First Owens River-Los Angeles Aqueduct, the Colorado River Aqueduct was the second major water-supply project in the 20th century that contributed to the subsequent growth of metropolitan Los Angeles and surrounding communities.
- The Colorado River Aqueduct was built and is maintained by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, a body formed by legislation in 1928. In the six counties served by the Metropolitan Water District, population grew approximately 500 percent in slightly more than 50 years, from 3.5 million in 1939 to 17.5 million in 1993.
- Lake Havasu, the main holding reservoir for the Colorado River Aqueduct, was created on the Colorado River by the construction of Parker Dam between 1934 and 1938 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
- During the Great Depression, the Colorado River Aqueduct provided jobs for more than 30,000 workers, employing as many as 10,000 at one time. Also, by supporting growth in that part of the country, the Colorado River Aqueduct played an important role in Southern California's contributions to World War II efforts.

Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Began operation 1755
The [system's trial run] created great gratification in the little community, and the novelty of the enterprise invariably excited the wonder and admiration of visitors.
- Robert Rau Historical Sketch of the Bethlehem Water Works, 1877
Although gravity-fed water systems were common in colonial America, the Bethlehem Waterworks was the first pumping system to provide drinking and washwater in North America. Before the Bethlehem built its system, assigned carriers would daily haul water up the hill from a well near the city gate.
The system was considered state-of-the-art at that time and served as a model for later waterworks projects. George Washington and other early American leaders considered making Bethlehem the nation's capitol, in part because of the technological leadership exhibited by the city's water system.
Architecturally, the waterworks building, which still stands today, is distinctive. It is made of hand-hewn limestone with Moravian brick arched windows.
Facts
- The trusses consist of wooden latticework, connected with nuts, bolts, and washers.
- The span is constructed mostly of virgin pine with an oak arch.
- The ridgepole is 232-feet long and the truss is 228-feet.
