Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites ~ Most Challenging Project ~ AZRE RED Awards 2010

http://azbigmedia.com/red/arizona-real-estate-development-awards-2010

Moenkopi Legacy Inn is the first hotel constructed on Hopi tribal land in 50 years. The architecture was a fine balance of modern construction technologies and products used, with local construction materials and methods that have been handed down through the Hopi people for many generations. The construction team faced many challenges during the construction of the hotel, including learning how to work with Hopi tribal laws and ordinances governing construction. Other challenges included securing power and natural gas to the site. One unexpected challenge came in the form of a low water supply. In order to prevent depleting water from the local villages for construction, Brycon had a 21,000-gallon water container, along with a high-flow pump system, brought up from the Valley. In addition, water was trucked in daily from Flagstaff to keep the tank full.
