UH Gartley Hall

As part of the design team, Nagamine Okawa Engineers worked with the architect to structurally retrofit and renovate this historic structure for the current needs and requirements of the University of Hawaii.  The interior structure of the building was removed and the exterior walls were "underpinned" to mitigate settlement.  New concrete foundations including pile caps and grade beams supported by micropiles were installed to support the renovated building and prevent future settlement.   The interior of the building was then constructed out of structural steel with concrete floor slabs.
