Royal Large
What is the large complex of pink buildings on a hill on Oahu. Not the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.?
It looks like it could be a hospital or university.
Yes, the large complex of pink buildings is Tripler Army Medical Center. The story goes that due during the construction they wanted to make use of the wind so they situated the complex to catch the afternoon breezes off of the mountains. But since the soil is red, iron compound due to the volcanic nature of the island, the building soon turned red. So in order to hide the red stain from the soil they decided to paint the whole complex pink/salmon color.
The other story is that the contractor who built the building was the same contractor who built the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It was his favorite color and we guess the rest is history.
Which one is true? We don’t know everybody takes sides and we guess it is the one you want to believe in.
