Kapiolani Community College Origins
Kapiolani Community College has a long, colorful history. Its solid reputation in culinary arts, hospitality, health services, liberal arts and business education, is sprinkled with delightful stories of campus moves, student and faculty successes, and classroom innovations.
Established in 1946 while Hawaii was still a territory as Kapiolani Technical School, the school was administered by the Territorial Department of Instruction. Its first program was food service. By statehood in 1959, three additional programs were added: practical nursing, business education and dental assisting. The technical school realigned its programs and became part of the open door community college system of the University of Hawaii in 1965 and was renamed Kapiolani Community College (KCC).
Originally located on the corner of Pensacola and Kapiolani Boulevard, KCC's enrollment grew rapidly during the 1970s. So rapidly, in fact, that the need to move to larger quarters became a priority. In 1974, the UH Board of Regents provided for a phased transition and transfer of the Pensacola programs to a new 52-acre campus located on the slopes of Diamond Head. Occupying five temporary renovated buildings once owned by Fort Ruger, KCC received the distinction of being the first two-campus college in the system. But KCC was turning heads for other reasons too. In 1976, Radiologic Technology instructors Roland Clements and Harry Nakayama developed a new hip x-ray technique which earned KCC national attention.
Growing up on Diamond Head
By 1980, plans to relocate the remainder of the campus to Diamond Head were under way. A few people who opposed KCC's move at the time, though unsuccessful in stopping construction at its present site, caused developers to address their concerns. Buildings were slightly reconfigured, and more trees were preserved to help create the campus that today blends so beautifully with its scenic location.
As the new buildings sprung up on campus, so did new programs and recognition for excellence in several areas. In 1986, KCC's respiratory care program won a national award as an outstanding vocational education program. Meanwhile Emergency Medical Services started the mobile intensive care technician program at KCC. The Gallaudet University Regional Center, the famous cactus garden, and the first Asia-Pacific Festival also took roots on campus in the late '80s.
Students and faculty of the KCC culinary program had long been reaping awards, but they did not achieve Guinness record notoriety until 1990. That year, KCC and Honolulu Commuity College food service students helped McKinley High School celebrate its 125th anniversary by creating a record-breaking two-ton, 130 foot long cake. Also, during the 1990's the campus came alive with many new pieces of sculpture, fountains, murals and other art.
