Rice Fergus Miller Announced as Designer of Tulalip Resort Casino Expansion & Renovation Project
Rice Fergus Miller (RFM), a leading architecture, interior design and planning firm based in Bremerton, Washington, is proud to announce their role as the lead architectural and interior designer of a 70,250 SF expansion and renovation project at the Tulalip Resort Casino property in Tulalip, Washington. Rice Fergus Miller has extensive experience serving Native communities including projects with Tulalip Resort Casino, other resorts and casinos and a variety of tribal healthcare, education, and civic projects across the region.
The major expansion and renovation of Tulalip Resort Casino is now under way, marking the beginning of an anticipated 24-month construction timeline. The expansion at the north end of the current casino will add 70,250-square-feet to the existing 192,000-square-foot property and will feature expanded gaming options and guest amenities. The completed project will feature impressive new design features throughout the entire resort casino.
The completed expansion and renovation will highlight the Tulalip Tribes’ culture and traditions and weave them into innovative design concepts representing the dynamics of the Salish Sea, shorelines and forest environments.
“In keeping with our connection to our waters as the People of the Salmon, we will continue to tell our story through the new architectural features and visuals, a rich palette of colors and the use of natural materials,” said Marci Fryberg, President/COO of Tulalip Gaming Organization.
The North Entrance closed January 15 for site preparation for the first phase of construction, including the perimeter of the expanded gaming floor and guest services. Construction efforts aim to minimize disruptions for guests and the existing gaming floor will remain open during the initial construction phase.
Swinerton Construction has been selected as the building contractor for the project. Swinerton is one of the nation’s top builders in the hospitality sector including casinos and a wide range of resort and hotel properties.
Tulalip Resort Casino currently features a 12-story, 370-room luxury hotel, an expansive gaming floor with a DraftKings sportsbook, premier meeting and event space, a variety of quality dining venues and a full-service spa.
The Tulalip Resort Casino has been designated as a AAA Four-Diamond resort every year since 2009 and is consistently recognized for excellence among guests and industry professionals. For more information on Tulalip Resort Casino visit everythingtulalip.com.
