CONFERENCE CENTER OF THE AMERICAS AT THE BILTMORE HOTEL
Coral Gables, Florida

Johnson, Avedano, Lopez, Rodriguez & Walewski Engineering Group provided HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection and Electrical Engineering Design and Contract Administration Services for  this fast-track and extremely complex project at the beautiful Biltmore Hotel, a historic property registered with the National Historic Landmarks Register.

The project consisted of approximately 71,000 SF that included the renovation of the ballroom and museum, the renovation of the first floor into conference rooms and support facilities, and the construction of an addition to the historic building for a world-class conference and education center featuring an array of technologically advanced facilities and amenities within a 60-seat auditorium and 90-seat auditorium.

The facilities include a state-of-the-art complete multi-media network that integrates high speed computer networks, video networks and advanced teleconferencing systems into one network.

Our office worked closely with the Architect and Owners, as well as the City, to make this a successful project.
