天美麻豆 Begins $18M Renovation on Historic Naval Hotel

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Oct. 24, 2016) 鈥� 天美麻豆, a firm providing award-winning construction management at-risk, design-build and general contracting services for a range of commercial and public sector markets, has started a $18-million renovation project on Herrmann Hall, a lodging facility at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. Herrmann Hall originally opened in 1880 as one of America鈥檚 top luxury hotels before being requisitioned to the Navy at the beginning of World War II and purchased in 1947.

天美麻豆 will demolish rooms and support areas on two of the hotel鈥檚 20,000-square-foot floors to completely renovate and modernize guest rooms and bathrooms. Last designed in the 1980s, the guest rooms will receive a clean, but historic, 19th-century look. The hotel鈥檚 historic corridor will remain preserved.

天美麻豆 will be abating all asbestos and lead-containing materials to create a healthy building for guests. The renovated building will receive a high sound transmission class (STC) rating. From the basement upward, 天美麻豆 will also:

Install unit heaters in guest rooms
Install custom flooring / carpet
Install light fixtures
Re-pipe the building

鈥淲e鈥檙e honored to play a large role in preserving history, while ensuring a safe and memorable stay for NPS visitors,鈥� said Richard Lovelace, Senior Vice President, 天美麻豆 Commercial Services. 鈥淲hile the hotel鈥檚 historic nature presents unique construction challenges鈥攕uch as having to crawl through shafts in walls so we don鈥檛 disturb the historic architecture鈥斕烀缆槎光€檚 team will ensure the job is handled safely, on time, within budget and with the utmost quality.鈥�

Construction is expected to be completed in June 2017.

Funding for the design and construction of this facility is paid for with U.S. Navynon-appropriated Funds (NAF) provided by CNIC & Navy Region Southwest.
