Architecture
Architecture
4 Story, 120 room new hotel constructed with non-combustible materials using prefabricated concrete planks and load bearing metal stud walls. The building provides hotel guestrooms, reception and lounge area, meeting spaces, cafe/dining, bar, and interior pool. The exterior of the building, which is mostly brick, and the parking screen wall has been picked to match the surrounding area.
Zoning:
NC - Neighborhood Commercial
Building Enclosure
Building Enclosure
The building façade consists of a mixture of face brick, EIFS, and cast stone to follow the more modern look that Marriott is looking for. The face brick’s color, Statford Rose, was specifically chosen to match the rest of the towns exterior. Since this property is located close to both the Hershey Country Club and Spring Creek Golf Course, ultra high impact resistant EIFS will face the north elevation to combat the flying golf balls in hopes of limiting ware on the exterior. All of the banding, keystones, and sills will all be renaissance oak ridge colored cast stone. Calcium silicate masonry units were once part of the façade, lining the bottom exterior walls, but were removed from the plan from concerns of durability (water).
The north elevation will have tempered/heat strengthened glass in lieu of standard glass at the outer pane of the insulated window units. Dark bronze colored aluminum will frame the windows, entrances, and storefronts around the entire hotel. Looking to the top of the building, guests will see metal coping on continuous cleats on top of a layer of EIFS trim and a screen wall hiding the mechanical equipment.
Roofing:
TPO Roofing System - fully adhered roof membrane
Windows:
Tempered/heat strengthened glass in lieu of standard glass at outer pane of insulated window units at the rear of the building
Construction; Means and Methods
Construction; Means and Methods
Starting with the placement of the cast stone, which is being placed with common construction assembly methods. The cast stone is held back with cast stone anchorage and mortar with a mortar net lining the bottom to catch the droppings. Through wall flashing along with 2” rigid insulation, air and weather barriers, and ½” glass mat gypsum sheathing make up the rest of the external wall system.
Brick is the other masonry veneer to be placed on the façade. The standard size face brick is held in place with mortar and adjustable veneer ties at 16” on center each way. Mortar nets line the bottom of the façade here as well to catch droppings. 2” rigid insulation along with an air and weather barrier make up the rest of the exterior wall system.
The last system being analyzed for the Hershey Hotel is the two types of EIFS being placed. The south side of the hotel lining the golf course has an EIFS system with an ultra-high impact rating while the rest of the system is a normal EIFS system. The high impact system uses a high impact reinforcing mesh along with the primus/adhesive Portland cement. The adhesive is the same for the normal impact system. Both systems also make use of air and weather barrios along with weep holes and flashing for shedding water.

Structural
Structural
The Hershey Hotel consists of load bearing metal stud walls and a structural steel frame for parts of the hotel that need larger spans (meeting rooms). More specifically, for basic seismic force resistance, a light framed wall system using flat strap bracing is being used. Shop welds and bolts are being used for the bracing, along with field welds in accordance with the American Welding Society. For any bolted field connections, ¾” high strength bolts installed to the “snug tight” condition described in AISC are allowed.
Electrical
Electrical
The electrical power for the hotel comes into the building from a duct bank with 10 4” PVC pipes with 2 being empty with pull wire. The power coming in from the utility company is 3000A, 3 phase, 120/208 Wye power entering the floor mounted unit. After leaving the switchboard, the 1st floors power is distributed to eight different panels, seven of them being 225A panels, and the last one being a 100A panel. The 2nd floors power is distributed to four 225A panels and a 100A panel while the 3rd floor uses just four 225A panels. The 4th floor also has four 225A panels along with one 100A panel, one 600A panel, an 11hp elevator, and a 15hp elevator. The roofs power is split between the two 200A DOAUs and the other VRF units.
Mechanical
Mechanical
The first floor of the hotel is serviced by a Dectron pool dehumidification system for the pool room and multiple indoor LG VRF units strategically placed amongst the different spaces. Each guestroom on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors is individually serviced by indoor LG VRF units located in the ceiling overhead of the entrance to each room. The rooftop consists of one air cooled condensing unit, two dedicated outdoor air systems, one make up air unit, and multiple outdoor VRF units.
Fire Protection
Fire Resistive Rating Requirements:
- Based on 2009 IBC, Table 601 unless noted otherwise construction type: Type II-B
Fire Protection Features:
