Peabody Orlando Expansion Unveils Sept. 23
Orlando, FL, September 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Glazing Consultants International, LLC (GCI), provided building envelope consulting services for Peabody Orlando’s $450 million dollar expansion scheduled to be unveiled Sept. 23, 2010. The hotel will now feature over 200,000 square-feet of meeting space, a tower with 750 new guest rooms and a new parking garage for 2,100 cars.
“This was an exciting project because GCI was able to work on the entire exterior utilizing our glazing, waterproofing and roofing specialists," Managing Member of GCI Paul Beers said. "This is a prominent landmark in Orlando, and we are proud to have been a part of its growth.”
The assignment spanned several years. GCI first performed an initial survey to help determine how to integrate the existing structure with the new expansion and then collaborated with the owner and architect on the design. Throughout the construction process, GCI provided quality-control services, including review of drawings and submittals, site observations and field water infiltration tests.
