With the success of the initial project, the JCJ team was immediately tasked to design subsequent phases of the development.
The entire project was designed and constructed within a lighting-fast timeframe of just 100 days, and came in at 12% under budget. This first phase included an 82,000 sf gaming floor with 2,595 slot machines and 91 table games, a center bar, 350-seat “Thunderfalls Buffet,” casual dining, the “Bear’s Den” 440-seat showroom theater and back of house space. The initial phase of the multi-year development began with the fast track conversion of a 1974, Philip Johnson designed, under-utilized 400,000+ square foot convention center, into a class III casino. Project Overview JCJ Architecture worked closely with the Seneca Nation to develop a master plan for this site entitled “Vision for the Future.”
