The High Mountain Conference Center was built as a public / private economic development initiative in collaboration with NAU, the City of Flagstaff and Drury Inns. The project entailed construction of a 42,000 square foot conference center and a 3-story, 450-car parking facility located on the north end of the campus. The conference center includes the latest state-of-the-art audio-visual technology as well as large and small conference room spaces with operable partitions for flexibility in accommodating a variety of events. A full service kitchen facility serves the food preparation needs of the conference facility making this a desirable conference location for the marketplace.
In addition to the Conference Center and the Parking Facility, the site is home to a 158-room hotel featuring both traditional rooms and suites. The hotel facility is operated by Drury Inns and has meeting room spaces to augment the conference center. It also houses a fitness center, business center and an indoor pool. The Conference Center and the Hotel are connected by an enclosed pedestrian bridge.
NAU engaged ABACUS to serve as their Project Management Consultant during the project. ABACUS provided a on-site Project Manager who served as an extension of the NAU Planning & Development staff. ABACUS was responsible for coordination and oversight of the many diverse activities associated with this project on a day-today basis. Construction Value $21 million |
