Dakota Landing Hotel

Award Winner : Champion Commercial Structures
Architectural Excellence : The four-story 240 room extended stay hotel was designed to meet the growing demand for lodging in the Williston, ND area. The facility services the Bakken Shale region with a state-of-the-art full-service kitchen and dining facility, game room, fitness center and meeting rooms. Featuring two separate wings with common areas in the center, the project consisted of 128 modules accounting for 99,700 square feet of space in an "L" shaped configuration. Because it is an extended stay hotel, the rooms were generously sized with lots of amenities. Interior finishes were clean and modern and provided for maximum efficiency in the space. The exterior was finished with two different colors and types of siding to provide visual interest. The entrance area was enhanced with natural stone siding. Earth tone colors were chosen to blend with the natural surroundings.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : Offsite construction had a significant impact on costs given the geographic location of the project. However, the most significant benefit to the customer was the time savings which lead to reduced construction costs and faster revenues. With the severe lack of housing in Williston, the hotel would be immediately filled once completed, so time was of the essence. The 128 modules were built in Champion's Weiser, ID facility in less than 40 days. Modular construction allowed the units to be delivered and set during the winter months where site construction would not have been possible. By partnering with fellow MBI member M Space Holdings, we were able to deliver a quality building to the customer on a very tight project schedule.

Technical Innovation : The project faced the challenge of construction during the harsh North Dakota winter months coupled with limited local resources of labor and materials. These challenges, along with the desire for speed, made modular construction a logical choice. Given the fact the occupants would primarily be oil field workers, sustainable materials were used throughout the project. Examples include commercial carpet, heavy duty doors and hardware, and quartz countertops. Energy efficiency and green building were also considerations. The units also had to be designed to be comfortable during the harsh winter months. Energy saving features like heavy insulation, water saving Moen fixtures, and Low-E argon filled windows added to the energy saving and green aspects of the building.
