PBS Hawaii

After 50 years of sharing space at the University of Hawaii, PBS Hawaii’s lease is about to expire and the public television station is in the final stages of its NEW HOME Campaign. PBS Hawaii has made a mortgage-free purchase of a property on Sand Island Access Road and is conducting a fundraising campaign to pay for the renovation and expansion of an existing building. PBS Hawaii will soon begin construction and expects to be in its new home in early 2016. The new building will be comprised of a main television studio and a smaller interview studio, an emergency broadcast center, and a media innovation center, which will house HIKI NO, PBS Hawaii’s flagship digital literacy and learning initiative. Designed to be a community gathering place, the facility will help PBS Hawaii better accommodate the public, with space for audience seating, moveable stages and sets, and a large area for community volunteers. PBS Hawaii will take full advantage of up-to-date media technology in its new 21st century headquarters.
