It is an 8-story structure with a full height atrium. The atrium is covered by a large skylight supported by king post trusses. The hotel contains approximately 250 rooms with full amenities. A 2-level parking garage below grade serves as a parking area for the hotel. Construction of the hotel utilizes post tensioned cast-in-place concrete. The structure is supported on auger cast piling.

		Hyatt Hotel – Curaçao The Hyatt Hotel in Curaçao is located on an ocean inlet and offers unique beachfront exposures. The hotel complex consists of a main building featuring the ballroom, meeting rooms, dining rooms and a future casino. Rooms are located in eight 3-story structures as well as a wing on the main building and several small duplex cottages. The primary construction utilized in this building is cast-in-place concrete. The 3-story structures are terraced around the hillside and were constructed utilizing a local tunnel form system. The core building is primarily cast-in-place concrete with structural steel framing for the roof structure. The foundation system consisted of a combination of shallow wall and spread footings supported on the shallow weathered rock system. Construction was completed by a local Dutch contractor; however, the building was designed in accordance with the International Building Code and ACI and AISC current codes.   Architect:   Milton Pate Architects
		ALoft Hotel – Philadelphia, PA This prototype hotel contains the normal amenities for a hotel including ballroom, meeting rooms, indoor pool and restaurants. In many areas of the building the structure is exposed, hence the name ALoft. The structure is a 5-story building containing approximately 80,000 – 90,000 square feet. Construction consists of load bearing masonry walls with concrete precast hollow core plank floors. Unique roof structures were utilized in the roof structure and porte cochère roof. At this site the structure was supported by timber piling. The Philadelphia hotel was opened in 2008.   Architect:   Milton Pate Architects Westin in Lake Mary Florida The Westin in Lake Mary Florida combines a hotel with restaurant and conference facilities.  Conference rooms and restaurant are located in a low-rise portion of the project and hotel rooms are located in a seven level tower.  The structure of the seven story tower is a cast-in-place flat plate that utilizes conventional and post-tensioned reinforcement.  Hotel lateral loads are resisted by shear walls.  The low-rise portion of the project utilizes structural steel, steel roof joint end joist girders.  Lateral loads are resisted using braced frames. Existing site conditions indicated that soil supported spread footings would be the most economical foundation solution.  However, the allowable soil bearing pressure was very low.  Also settlement issues, particularly when exacerbated by the hotel tower loads, were a concern.  Soil enhancement, provided by a rammed aggregate system, was used to resolve this system.
