The Edwin Hotel, Autograph Collection by Marriott, posed a unique challenge in that it needed to be erected quickly and in a confined area. To meet these needs, the team specified the use of hollow core plank as the structural system for the building, from the first floor to the roof. This choice was made due to the efficiency of the system, as well as its capacity to expedite the construction process.
In order to achieve maximum efficiency, the hollow core plank was delivered directly to the site and placed on the structure without delay. Each hollow core floor was erected in less than a week per floor, and the minimal area needed for erecting meant that only access for a delivery truck was necessary.
Furthermore, production and erection were not affected by adverse weather events, making it the ideal solution for the project.
