in 2005 the Sunpendulum Time-Eye of Hawaii on Maui moved from the Maui High Performance Computing Center to the Maui Community College - MCC

 


MCC is an integral part of the University of Hawaii and is located in Kahului on Maui

 


 
The Time-Eye of Hawaii was reinstalled at the MCC library building directed to the east to capture sunlight from the sky over the dormant volcano Mount Haleakala, the so called "House of the Sun"
