The Hard Rock Hotel - Fire Sprinkler Retrofit of Historic Building
Alliance Fire Protection completed a fire sprinkler system retrofit in the Hard Rock Hotel, a 37
floor building.
The Hard Rock Hotel, Chicago Illinois, is located in the fully restored 1929 historic Carbide and
Carbon building. Due to it's central location, at 230 North Michigan Avenue, it is close to several
Chicago tourist attractions - Navy Pier, Magnificent Mile, the Loop, Millennium Park, the Art
Institute and Theatre District.
Over 2,800 fire sprinklers were installed in what was a former office building, converted into a
first class hotel with 383 Guest Rooms and 13 Suites. This project is a challenge because there are
historic finishing's in the building that need to be left in place.
In addition to the fire sprinklers, Alliance Fire Protection also installed a multi zone fire pump
in the Hard Rock Hotel. Due it's height, the Hard Rock Hotel needs two fire pumps to supply the fire
sprinklers with adequate water pressure.
