Arizona’s second AC Hotel by Marriott ℠ is an eight-story, 137-room, 176,480-square-foot facility in downtown Tucson. The hotel includes five stories of post-tensioned parking garage with three stories of load-bearing cold-formed walls. The most interesting aspect of this project that inspired Schneider during the design process was determining the correct lateral stiffness with a drastic change in the lateral system at the podium level. Schneider’s design innovations included angle supports with grouted infill release pockets with dowels as an alternative to long-term shored closure pours around shear walls to allow shortening. Schneider designed new details to accelerate construction by allowing early removal of shoring around stairway shear walls and fabricated walls.
