Kalahari’s Pocono Mountain Resort is the largest indoor waterpark in America
About Kalahari Resorts & Conventions
The new Pocono resort would be the third location for Kalahari. Previously, each location utilized separate architects and regional providers for all of their technology solutions requirements, which included different providers for audio/visual (A/V), network, and security needs, to name a few. In addition to the obvious complications in managing a network of vendors, Kalahari was also presented with an arduous bidding and evaluation
process for vendors and suppliers of the new facility.
The project would require meticulous coordination and oversight. In addition, the initial phase of construction would only be the first of three. The entire resort was planned to be built in stages to allow for the initial opening of the waterpark resort. Then two subsequent phases of expansions would conclude the entire construction.
The first phase of the resort’s public opening was completed and opened in July of 2015. The public was able to start enjoying the luxury amenities of the hotel, the massive indoor waterpark, convention center and meeting rooms, the expansive main lobby, restaurants and bars for the start of the summer season in the Poconos.
Following the first phase and opening, the transition from construction to operation was seamlessly passed along to Kalahari. Since their entire facility utilized next-generation
A/VoIP, the technology allows the distribution side to be supported by a traditional IT manager. This eliminated the need for any sort of specialty knowledge to operate the
entire system, and a regular IT team could easily operate the facility.
Solutionz continued to oversee the project through the ultimate completion, as the resort tackled two additional phases of construction. The second phase, opened in early 2017, encompasses a second complete hotel tower, the addition of more restaurants, and doubled the waterpark space for the resort.
Upon completion, Kalahari’s Pocono Mountain Resort is the largest indoor waterpark in America. This new resort in the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains revolutionized the
construction process of new resorts for Kalahari.
