The Soldier Hollow Lodge, a critical addition for the 2002 Winter Olympics, was approved by the Utah Legislature during the 2000 session. With a tight deadline approaching (March close of the legislative session), immediate action was required to ensure project completion by winter.
The Director of Facilities Construction and Management implemented a fast-track approach. A shortlist of three qualified design-build firms was selected to submit proposals that included both design and construction budgets. Hart, Fisher, and Smith Architects in collaboration with Hogan Construction emerged as the winning team.
Construction commenced on July 5th, adhering to the aggressive timeline. The Soldier Hollow Lodge was successfully completed by mid-December, in time to host a state senator’s Christmas party, further demonstrating project expediency. By the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Lodge was fully operational and successfully served its intended purpose.
