夏威夷野生动物中心，一个非营利性组织，是夏威夷第一个致力于恢复和保护岛上独特野生动物的野生动物恢复中心。通过三个综合设计组成部分，Ruhl Walker建筑师的这一结构完成了该组织作为一个专门从事研究、动物康复和公众教育和培训的机构的使命。

The Hawai'i Wildlife Center, a non-profit organization, is Hawaii's first wildlife recovery center dedicated to the recovery and conservation of the islands' unique wildlife. Through three integrated design components, this structure by Ruhl Walker Architects serves to fulfill the mission of the organization to serve as an institution devoted to research, the rehabilitation of animals, and the education and training of the general public.

该结构的形式发展是基于本地区的建筑。平面正面支撑一个山墙屋顶，延伸到结构以外。立面宣布进入通过一个大的绿色平面，用于对比穿孔，不同间距的水泥搭板，既保护建筑物不受元素，并允许自然通风。

The formal development of the structure is based on architecture native to the region. The planar front facade supports a gable roof that extends to the structure beyond. The facade announces entry through a large green plane that serves to contrast the perforated variably-spaced cement lap siding that both protects the building from the elements and allows for natural ventilation.

这座建筑分为两个内部区域，每个区域都有一个不同的中心规划目标。教育馆与其他明确处理动物治疗的区域分开存在，强调了该中心的多方面抱负。毗邻建筑物，花园的存在，突出了本土生态植物。

The building is separated into two interior zones that each adress a different programmatic goal of the center. The education pavilion exists separate from other zones that deal explicitly with animal treatment emphasizing the multifaceted ambition of the center. Adjacent to the building, garden exists that highlights native ecological plants.

波纹钢、聚碳酸酯护套和水泥搭板的材料调色板都是以这种方式组装的，以促进自然通风以供冷却。安装在屋顶上的光伏电池和耗尽的收集箱也增加了建筑物的可持续发展的雄心。

The material palette of corrugated steel, polycarbonate sheathing, and cement lap siding, are assembled in such a way to promote natural ventilation for cooling. Roof mounted photovoltaics and run-off collection tanks also add to the building's sustainable ambitions.

整个项目设计和施工小组无偿工作，致力于完成项目的材料和服务。创建这一基金会及其新家背后的基层努力可以被看作是夏威夷野生动物中心的重要作用的反映。

The entire project design and construction team worked pro bono, dedicating materials and services towards the completion of the project. The grassroots effort behind the creation of this foundation and its new home can be seen as a reflection of the importance of the Hawai'i Wildlife Center's role.
