The RISE Experience

Empowered by its partnership with PACE, the Walter Dods, Jr. RISE Center goes beyond traditional student housing to offer a modern live–learn–work community designed to inspire an entrepreneurial mindset. Opened just over a year ago, this newly built community blends contemporary living with purpose-driven spaces, including collaborative work areas, makerspace, classroom, and private meeting rooms. RISE was awarded a LEED Gold certification for its commitment to high-performance green building standards and excellence in sustainable design and construction. Named in honor of Honolulu philanthropist and UH Mānoa alumnus Walter A. Dods, Jr., whose $5 million gift supports student innovation and entrepreneurship, RISE connects residents and real-world opportunities—creating a place where students can grow, collaborate, and make an impact, all just steps from the heart of UH Mānoa.
