New tech facility
opens at UH school

The University of Hawaii's College of Business and PricewaterhouseCoopers have collaborated to build an advanced-technology center at the School of Accountancy.

PricewaterhouseCoopers donated more than $180,000 to build the Manoa campus center, which features modern equipment and wireless Internet access.

"These new and important educational tools enable Hawaii's students of accounting to hone their skills and become even more competitive in the global market," said Art Tokin, managing partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Honolulu office.

The modern facility is also expected to attract new students from all over the world, officials said.

The PricewaterhouseCoopers Technology Resource Room is equipped with a flat-screen plasma television, projector and furniture depicting an office setting.
