Why Undertake this Project?
After more than 80 years in service, the hotel and associated structures are in need of rehabilitation because:

• Facilities at The Ahwahnee are not fully compliant with the most recent building safety and accessibility codes including:
• • International Building Code (IBC)
  • National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code
  • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and IBC seismic requirements
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Many of the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems serving The Ahwahnee facilities are aging and need to be replaced and updated.
• Some historic hotel finishes and landscape components have aged or been altered over the years, potentially affecting the historic integrity of the property.
• The current operational layout of some working areas reduces the efficiency of providing a high level of visitor services.
