Roughly $7 million of the University of Hawaii’s lump-sum funding for deferred maintenance will be used to make repairs to Saunders Hall, which houses many of the units in UH Manoa’s College of Social Sciences. A 2015 report listed the building’s deferred maintenance at more than $8 million. The project will include repairing all exterior surfaces of the building; replacing the roof, louvers and railings; painting; and replacing mechanical and electrical equipment.
