Kawaiaha’o Plaza Office Blessing

January 18, 2019

The Kamehameha Schools Office of Advancement and Controller Division teams opened their doors to Kawaiaha’o Plaza staffers recently to celebrate the blessing of their newly renovated office spaces located on the ground floor of the KP parking structure. The six-month renovation was part of a KP space-planning initiative to enhance staff collaboration by updating workspaces with new technology and shared open spaces.
