Naming opportunities available for UH sports facilities

News Release

PEARL CITY — At its monthly meeting yesterday, the UH Board of Regents approved a request to allow for naming opportunities for UH Manoa's Health and Physical Education and Recreation building addition, located on the third floor of the athletics complex.

The Board action allows private funds to be raised to complete renovations of the HPER building.

"We continue to look at new and innovative ways to support our facilities' needs and pursue opportunities beyond state funding to maintain our facilities," said UH Manoa Athletics Director Herman Frazier. "With the success and attention our football program has received in recent years, there is an opportunity here to complete this project and provide for future maintenance and needs of our programs. Relocating the football staff also will free up additional office space for other sports, especially our women's programs."

Plans for the area, which is approximately 3,500 square feet, include a reception area, 11 individual offices, a video room, and two adjoining conference rooms. The naming opportunity levels are expected to cover 110 percent of the cost of the renovation and provide an endowment to cover the maintenance costs.

Donor recognition opportunities include the following:

Named UH Football Office Complex

Named individual offices (10)

Named Head Coach Office

Named Offensive Conference Room

Named Defensive Conference Room

Named Football Video Room
