Project Spotlight
Big Island Grown sought to create more than a standard cultivation building—they aimed to build a high-performance, net-zero energy facility aligned with Hawaii’s clean-energy vision. Western Steel Buildings partnered with their team to deliver a two-story, 35,000 sq. ft., fully climate-controlled steel structure designed for cannabis cultivation, processing, and distribution.
This facility supports precise environmental control while operating on a renewable power system that combines rooftop solar with hydroelectric generation. Western Steel engineered the structure with a full mezzanine level, insulated metal panels, and corrosion-resistant materials ideal for Hawaii’s coastal climate. The resulting building delivers modern efficiency, strict environmental stability, and long-term durability while supporting the client’s sustainability goals.

“Nestled between the mountain and the sea, our 35,000 square foot, purpose‐built production facility uses innovative techniques and technology to provide premium and sustainable, indoor‑grown crop for our community. Using clean room protocol, climate control technology and strategic construction allows us to grow our craft without the use of herbicides, pesticides or fungicides.”
