Here we completed the enclosure and all interior finishes on a very short schedule. The huge atrium that defines all Embassy hotels demanded that we build a deck to accommodate the framing and drywall on the ceiling and handrails. Then, two days after the hotel opened for business, a boiler explosion ripped through the structure. While hotel guests were still being ferried to neighboring accommodations, our crews were already at work. As a matter of fact, the call came at nine o’clock on a Friday night, and Midwest had 20 people at work within the hour. The hotel reopened the following Wednesday.
