Jay Peak Stateside Hotel & Base Lodge

Additional Info

Award Winner : Champion Commercial Structures

Architectural Excellence : The project, located at the base of the Jay Peak’s Stateside slopes, consists of a hybrid built 84 room hotel and base lodge aesthetically appointed and designed to attract hearty skiers and snowboarders. High-end touches like solid surface counter-tops, “barn” style closet doors and 1”x4” solid wood floor molding in all guestrooms, along with natural earth tone colors throughout, provide an added level of comfort and warmth that is all Vermont. The building features a modern rustic design inside and out with light brown & tan Hardi-lap siding on the exterior.
The hotel & base lodge features a full service restaurant & bars, a full fitness center, ski gear & rental center, ski patrol center, ski school, and relaxing outdoor hot tub area.
While Champion served as one of the subcontractors on this project, this was a hybrid build where the Base lodge and certain guestroom areas were site constructed. The guestrooms were all modular and designed using a center corridor concept.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : Due to the location of the project in Jay, Vermont, and with the extremely short build season, modular made perfect sense. Jay is renowned as a snow mecca and time is money. Opening after Christmas was not an option for the owners, but modular construction made it all possible and allowed the owners to open on time and secure a full season of revenue.
Throughout the front-end planning process, Champion was able to work directly with the construction manager and the site subcontractors to clearly delineate the scope of work and ensure there were no gaps or redundancies. This is another way that modular construction drove value and ensured cost efficiency in the overall process.

Green Building Description : The majority of the building was constructed in a factory, so the envelope is much "tighter" and more energy efficient. By ordering materials pre-cut and carefully planning material utilization during our construction planning phase, we were able to greatly reduce waste on the modular portion of the project.
High efficiency HVAC units with energy saving sensors were installed in all guestrooms. Hardi-lap siding ensures a long life with little maintenance. The insulation package selected, to include blown in closed cell cellulose on the exterior walls, not only provides energy efficiency, but also gives excellent STC ratings. Large casement style windows in each guestroom provide natural daylight, but are also insulated to aid in the overall energy efficiency.
By optimizing the design, we were able to minimize the number of modules on the project, and limit the number of freight hauls, thus saving on fuel and reducing emissions in the delivery of the modules to the jobsite.

Technical Innovation : By using a center corridor concept, we were able to maximize the size of each module to minimize the shipping and set costs associated with the project. This also allowed us to fully finish each guestroom at the factory. The only remaining interior work relating to the modules was the corridor finish, after all the structural and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) connections were made.
Once the modules were delivered to the site, Hayes Modular Group installed them using a crane and then made the structural connections and completed the temporary EPDM roofing and wind wrap to "dry-in" the buildings. Once complete, the site subcontractors installed the exterior siding/trim and completed the site built roof system.
With the short build window, the project required careful coordination between the modular and site constructed portions of the project. Diligent front-end planning made all the difference, as the sequencing of the scopes proved to be nearly flawless.
