This is the Center for Korean studies at UH Manoa. It was built in the 1970s, and adopted the design of the throne hall of Kyongbok Palace. It is very authentic. The granite around the bottom was imported from Korea, as were the carpenters who built it.
It cost 1.5 million to build at the time, one third of which was supplied through gov't grants and donations from Korea.
I have classes here 3 days a week. Well, inside the bigger building, not this pagoda looking thing. Niiice!
