Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan For Pearl Harbor Naval Complex

To preserve the rich cultural heritage of Pearl Harbor while meeting the ongoing needs of the Pacific Fleet, the Commander Navy Region Hawaii commissioned the ICRMP. It provides a framework to ensure that cultural and historic resources are properly considered and integrated into the Navy's decision-making process. By knowing what cultural resources it has, the Navy can better maintain, adaptively reuse, or minimize/mitigate adverse impacts on them.

Mason Architects, as part of the ICRMP team under Helber Hastert and Fee:

  • Provided an overall history and analysis of the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex;
  • Delineated twelve historic zones within the Complex -- Marine Barracks, Shipyard, Makalapa Housing, for example;
  • Provided a history, analysis, and planning guidelines for each zone;
  • Used a cultural landscape approach, which identifies and links historic periods, geographic areas, and resource types;
  • Focused on character-defining features of the landscape (views, topography, vegetation, circulation) and of buildings and structures (construction types, design elements);
  • Added 500 residential facilities to its earlier survey of over 1000 pre-1956 military facilities; and
  • Updated the Navy's database of historic facilities.

The ICRMP is currently being updated to include all areas on Oahu under the jurisdiction of the Commander Naval Region Hawaii.
