Kadena Elementary School
New elementary school on Kadena AB in Okinawa, Japan
The U.S. Army District in Japan awarded Gilbane a $72 million project for the construction of the new Kadena Elementary School at the Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. The existing Amelia Earhart Intermediate and Bob Hope Primary Schools were both constructed in 1980 and did not meet 21st Century Education Facilities Specifications and contained infrastructure that was outdated, failing, and in need of urgent repair and replacement.
