CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR COLLEGE HILL CLOSE TO $1 MILLION
A LDEN A LAY VILLA Senior Staff Writer Ongoing construction costs for exterior work and historic restoration procedures for College Hill are valued at $975,000. According to Director of Communications and Outreach Kelli Abe Trifonovitch, construction consists of reroofi ng and installation of solar hot water heater systems and historic restoration procedures for wood treatment and carpentry. “Replacement of termite damage and rotted structural support has added to the original scope of work,” Trifonovitch said. Construction costs are supplemented by Capital Renewal and Deferred Maintenance funds, and construction is projected to be completed by February 2014. Repairs to College Hill, located at 2234 Kamehameha Avenue, were also done in 2009. “Some of these repairs included replacing the existing oak strip wood fl ooring, which was too thin to refi nish, in the entry, living room and dining room,” Trifonovitch said.
