Chanen was the design-builder of the $30 million Gila River Casino at Wild Horse Pass located south of Phoenix, Arizona.
Before the project began, "Visioning Process" meetings were held with members of the seven districts of the Gila River Indian Community to develop design guidelines. Through the Visioning Process, the Community established the direction for appropriate design. Community members provided continuous input during the process and critical feedback to the design-build team. The result is a low profile, earth-bermed structure that minimizes its impact on the natural desert environment.
This 167,000-sq.-ft., facility contains a 1,400-seat bingo hall featuring World Wide Bingo, 500 gaming machines, Arizona's largest poker room, three restaurants, retail space, a cultural art museum area and all necessary back-of-house operations.
The design-build team maintained total responsibility for the project from the inception of the design through completion of the casino.
Chanen's team of construction specialists supported the designers, provided estimating and value engineering, performed scheduling and constructed the project. Chanen returned over $1 million of savings to Gila River at project completion.
Chanen also developed a project-specific subcontracting plan to meet the Community's employment requirements.
