cKenney’s coordinated the
building of a massive new
Omni Hotel and expansion of
the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.
The Challenge
McKenney’s needed to tap its vast hospitality
experience—having handled many projects
at convention hotels, conference centers and
public spaces—to build more than 800 hotel
rooms and a new central plant (chilled water
and hot water) that ties into the music
hall’s existing systems. The project called
for meticulous handling of complex logistics
and unwavering adherence to safety.
The Solution
McKenney’s carefully managed the design
to keep the job on budget during precon­
struction without sacrificing the program or
finishes. Safety expectations were continually
reinforced among all the workers throughout
the project. The team used a local warehouse
and receiving yard to meticulously manage
logistics on the large project. Extensive
Building Information Modeling coordination
led by McKenney’s was required with all
trades involved.
The Results
When ready, the massive convention hotel
will significantly change the skyline, hotel
market and convention industry in Nashville.
