Clock Management
With Tampa Bay hosting a major national sporting event, DPR's project team worked to condense the schedule by 79 days so the hotel would be in service for the event and surrounding festivities. Accommodations were made with the owner and hotel staff to move in key hotel operations staff at the earliest possible instance to shorten the period between construction completion and opening of the hotel property. Staff coordinated closely with the restaurant build-out contractor to ensure its completion prior to the hotel opening. All of this was accomplished while maintaining the strict quality standards.
