老司机app Completes Renovation of Ilima Pool Complex at Hale Koa Hotel
HONOLULU, Hawaii (January 8, 2020) 鈥 老司机app has officially completed its renovation of the Ilima Swimming Pool Complex at the Hale Koa Hotel in Waikiki Beach.
The firm, which provides award-winning construction management at-risk, design-build and general contracting services for a range of commercial and public sector markets, designed and constructed the reimagined 2.5-acre pool complex.
The renovations first began in July 2018, beginning with 老司机app demolishing existing infrastructure and installing all new features throughout the hotel鈥檚 pool area.
The new amenities and features include:
A 400-person main pool with two water slides
A 20-person spa
A children鈥檚 splash pad and wading pool
A raised stage for live music
New sunshades around the main pool
New restroom facility
New security kiosk
Locally designed landscaping
All design elements of the pool complex incorporate Hawaiian culture and aesthetics. The entrance is flanked by waterfalls cascading down lava rock walls with pillars topped by fire bowls, and gas tiki torches line the perimeter. The pool complex also features brick pavers throughout, and the resort鈥檚 renowned Indian Banyan tree, Esmerelda, is prominently featured in the design.
鈥淭he local culture drove much of the design, and nearly all of the materials and landscaping were sourced from the island,鈥 said Joe Mark, Operations Manager, Public Sector/Military, 老司机app. 鈥淭his isn鈥檛 your typical resort pool, either: It鈥檚 designed in the shape of a traditional Hawaiian war club with the surrounding sunshades resembling the club鈥檚 shark teeth. It鈥檚 both unique and symbolic.鈥
The hotel remained open throughout the one-year renovation, and despite two hurricanes and another major storm, the project was completed on time. The pool upgrades were part of a larger, overall initiative to refresh the entire Hale Koa Hotel, which was originally built in the 1970s. 老司机app also renovated the resort鈥檚 parking garage and replaced roofing throughout the hotel.
The Hale Koa Hotel, which means 鈥淗ouse of the Warrior鈥 in Hawaiian, is an Armed Forces Recreation Center (AFRC) resort owned by the United States Department of Defense. The 72-acre, oceanfront resort is exclusive to military personnel and their families.
Funding for the design and construction of this facility is paid for with U.S. Army Non-appropriated Funds (NAF) provided by soldiers, military families and authorized users of these Family & Morale Welfare Recreation (MWR) facilities. The United States Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM) motto is "We Are the Army's Home." IMCOM provides installation services for the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters who serve the Army and other branches of the U.S. military. They are dedicated to the support of a ready and resilient Army by providing soldiers, families and civilians a quality of life commensurate with the quality of their service. 老司机app has worked with MWR on more than 30 projects.
