Hampton Inn/KI Event Center Renovation/Conversion, Green Bay, WI

 

Hampton Inn/KI Event Center Renovation/Conversion, Green Bay, WI

PROJECT GOALS:

With the expansion of the KI Convention Center sparking a renaissance in downtown Green Bay, the neighboring Clarion hotel became both a liability and an eyesore due to its age and condition. To draw international clientele, the hotel would need a new brand and extensive upgrades to its structure, mechanicals, life safety, and exterior.

One month before renovations began, a massive water main break complicated design and construction logistics, and the scope grew to involve insurance claim work. Consolidated gutted, demolished portions of, and rebuilt this 7-story hotel and coordinated activities with the KI Center contractor on a shared, urban site.

This project earned a Projects of Distinction Gold Award from Associated Builders and Contractors, and the Mayor’s Beautification Award.

We’ve been talking about all this happening for 20 years, and it’s finally happening. Everyone put so much effort into this. We’re proud of it. It’s the proudest I’ve been of this hotel in a long time.
