The
$40 million project included adding two stories to two
existing buildings and constructing a new six-story tower
infill. The new tower is a private, key-activated Club
Lounge featuring 55 guest rooms, 16 executive suites,
four presidential suites and two villas. The scope included
renovation of three restaurants and the employee dining
room; laundry upgrade, renovation of back-of-house offices,
expansion of the spa and the addition of a children’s
play area. TLC structural and MEP engineers coordinated
closely with the rest of the team to meet the aggressive
design and construction schedule and the challenges of
the remote island location. To expedite the schedule,
the steel package was released early and TLC participated
with shop drawing reviews at the fabricator’s shop.
