The Learning Commons

The Learning Commons provides an inclusive, learner-centered environment fostering discovery, innovation, student achievement, and well-being. We recognize our physical location to be on ancestral land in Hawaiʻi, at Puʻuloa and Waiʻanae. Therefore, we acknowledge our responsibility to uplift and center the cultural traditions and scholarly contributions of Kanaka Maoli, past and present, to enrich the education and vitality of current and future generations of students. 

The Learning Commons Building is located at the center of the campus. It houses the Library, Tutoring (Learning Resource Center and Writing Center), Disability Services, Help Desk, Test Center, Educational Media Center, Innovation Center for Teaching and Learning, and Academic Services Dean’s Office.

If you have any questions about our services or suggestions on how we may improve our services, please do not hesitate to contact the Dean of Academic Services.
