SpringHill Suites

SpringHill Suites Orange Beach at the Wharf is a 5-story all-suite hotel located near Alabama’s Gulf Coast.  The second level consists of an 18,000sf concrete podium with concrete shear walls at the stairs and elevator.  The upper 3 elevated levels are constructed of precast hollow core planks bearing on reinforced concrete masonry walls.

The podium level is constructed of post-tensioned concrete beams and slab supported by concrete columns to allow for open spaces for the retail area and amenity spaces below. There are three levels of load bearing masonry construction on top of the podium.

The floors above as well as the roof are hollow core concrete planks with a topping slab. The lateral force resisting system as well as the load bearing walls are constructed of reinforced concrete and concrete masonry units.
