G70 is proud to partner with KAI Hawaii, Inc. to support the Braddahhood & Sisterhood Grindz program and its role in strengthening the connection between local businesses and University of Hawaiʻi Athletics.

From providing meals to supporting career development and post-graduation opportunities, the program continues to invest in student-athletes in meaningful ways. Its growth is a reflection of what can be achieved through strong community partnerships.

At G70, we are honored to be part of this collective effort in creating hope for future generations.

Spaces evolve with purpose, guided by thoughtful design and renewed intent.

G70 is transforming a long-standing campus building at the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College into the future Heona Art Center, a new home for the Department of Fine Arts.

Currently in development, the project has been shortlisted in the Future Projects – Education category for the World Architecture News 2026 Awards. The 7,000 sf renovation reimagines a former Physical Education Building as a light-filled, naturally ventilated environment envisioned as a creative hub for UH Maui College and the broader community.

We are honored to see this work recognized on the international stage as we continue to engage in meaningful design that creates hope for future generations.

We are deeply saddened to share that our founder, Francis S. Oda, went home to be with the Lord peacefully on February 14, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

For more than 50 years, Francis shaped G70 and Hawaiʻi’s built environment with vision, humility and faith. His legacy lives on in the communities we serve and the many lives he touched.

Our heartfelt love and condolences go out to the Oda ʻOhana. We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers during this time.

Love isn’t limited to one kind of relationship. It is also about the places we invest in.

Through G70’s work on Kūlanihākoʻi High School, the campus was designed to support connection, collaboration, and community. Thoughtful planning, site design, and spatial organization demonstrate how intentional design can influence the way students learn, engage, and experience their environment. This project reflects the role that well-considered educational design plays in shaping meaningful and connected learning spaces.

Supporting women and girls in science begins with access, encouragement, and environments that enable exploration.

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we recognize that opportunity is shaped not only by education, but by the spaces where learning and research take place. Thoughtful design helps create environments where inquiry, collaboration, and discovery can thrive.
