VDA provided services for a $308 million expansion of the Oneida Indian Nation's Turning Stone Resort & Casino. The project involved a 287-room hotel tower that at 20 stories is the tallest building between Albany and Syracuse. The 200,000 sq. ft. tower, which opened the summer of 2005, is part of a dramatic new grand entry to the resort, and also provides additional dining, recreation and lounging opportunities.

VDA's scope included full consulting services for 4 gearless passenger elevators and 2 geared service elevators to serve the tower; a pair of escalators in the Winter Garden and a pair of escalators in the Event Center, and 15 hydraulic elevators for various applications throughout the tower podium.
