The Homewood Suites is a 95-guest room hotel with a pool, an exercise room, a sports court, meeting facilities, food preparation and pantry area.  It consists of a 5-story steel and precast concrete structure with interior metal stud walls. A variety of wiring methods were utilized from armored metal cable for electric distribution, MC Cable for branch circuits, EMT conduit for power in exposed and mechanical spaces, and open NPLF fire alarm cabling.  A 2500 Amp, 208Y/120V, 3 Phase, 4 Wire service was distributed throughout the building utilizing a series of stacked electrical closets and 14 distribution panels. Each guestroom houses an individual 125 Amp load center.  A 3.3-acre site was fully illuminated using a combination of pole-mounted fixtures, ground floods and building mounted luminaries.
