Transforming unique hospitality spaces through innovative design
WAYLAND TOWNSHIP, MI, USA
Aqua Dome and Hotel Expansion
Salas O’Brien delivered comprehensive structural engineering design services for the Gun Lake Casino Aqua Dome & Hotel Expansion. The project features a 15-story curvilinear hotel with 252 rooms, including 30 suites, showcasing our expertise in complex hospitality structures. The centerpiece is the innovative Aquadome, a 32,000-square-foot glass-roofed, climate-controlled indoor space that transforms from a multi-level landscaped pool by day to a 2,400-seat performance complex by night.
Our team engineered versatile solutions to support this dual-purpose amenity, ensuring structural integrity for aquatic and entertainment functions. The design accommodates the unique challenges of a curved hotel tower and a large-span glazing dome, demonstrating our ability to create multifunctional, state-of-the-art spaces in the hospitality sector.
