I2 Construction has done an amazing job constructing our new 2-story addition and we are happy to report that we are on schedule for the posted November 1, 2008 opening date!

On Monday, July 7 you will begin to see demolition of the existing space. The business/membership office has been relocated (see relocation post) to prepare for the demolition of this space. A temporary wall from Ethereal Day Spa to the front desk will be placed in the lobby on Monday, July 7 for the remainder of the construction. The slat walls with flyers, brochures and information will be moved to the temporary wall.

If you have any questions, please contact me at paulan@greenwoodatc.com, by phone at 303-770-2582 ext. 309, or feel free to stop by the trailer in the parking lot…my new office. Thank you. 

I would like to thank each of your for your patience and cooperation during the locker installation. There are a few items yet to be completed including, but not limited to, adding hangers to each locker and to the wardrobe closets in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms, adding a basket of magnifying glasses for those people who could use assistance in seeing the numbers on the digilock, and the addition of a few lockers in areas where there are openings or filler panels. We will also be placing a movable shelf in each of the half lockers. This shelf will be adjustable and will therefore allow members to modify the locker to either have greater length for hanging clothes or allow a separate space for shoes or valuables.

We appreciate the feedback received by all of our members and please know we are doing our best to accommodate all audiences.

 One thing we have noticed is that members have a tendancy to approach a locker and immediately start putting in their 4-digit number thinking the locker is locked and needs to be unlocked. This is actually causing a number of the lockers to be locked without any belongings inside. Please contact the Activity Desk if you need any assistance with your locker.

Thank you.

As the business office goes through an expansion, we will temporarily relocate the Business/Administrative Staff to various locations throughout the club.

Please see list below for new locations:

BUSINESS TEAM AND MEMBER COACH - Inquire at the Club Ambassador Desk, relocated to Squash Court #1

CONCIERGE – Inquire at the Front Desk, relocated to office behind the Front Desk

CLUB AMBASSADOR – Relocated to the lobby; help with member account inquiries, upgrades and add-ons and will locate the appropriate staff for your assistance

EXECUTIVE TEAM AND DIRECTOR OF MEMBER SERVICES – Inquire at the Club Ambassador Desk; find Paula Neubert, Dan Grey, Barbara Lubbers, Craig Morgan and Lisa Thomas located in the trailer outside the club

SALES AND MARKETING - Inquire for membership at the Front Desk or Club Ambassador Desk; office adjacent to Kids’ Club

VALUABLES LOST AND FOUND – Inquire with the Club Ambassador or Front Desk

RENTING A LOCKER – Inquire at the Activity Desk

I am happy to announce the installation of our new lockers started last night in the women’s locker room. We anticipate finishing the remaining women’s half size day use lockers this evening and will begin installation of the women’s full size executive lockers on Thursday evening. The men’s half size day use and executive locker installation will also begin on Thursday evening and installation of the men’s full size executive lockers should start Friday evening.

The locks are working correctly and instruction sheets have been placed in various locations throughout the locker rooms to assist you with locking and unlocking your locker. We also have small index cards available at the Activity Desk if you would like to write down your code and locker number during the next few days until you feel more comfortable with the lockers. Please ask for assistance at the Activity Desk if you need any help.

Many of you have been asking about the old lockers and what is happening to them. We have a list of non-profit organiztions and schools who have requested them and will be putting them to good use.

Thank you for your cooperation during this transition. We appreciate your patience as we “Make the Best Part of Your Day…even better”!

Based on the limited amount of parking available during construction, we are requesting all members please utilize only one parking space. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The locker display has been removed from the lobby to make room for the weight room and business office expansion display. Sample locks are still located at both the front and activity desk for you to practice.

The new expansion display inludes three easels showing renderings of both the inside and outside spaces of the expansion. Please look over the display and let me know if you have any questions.

The Locker Q & A and Expansion Q & A are both still available on the home page of the website and at various locations throughout the club.

Please be sure and view the display in the lobby of the new lockers to be installed in the men’s and women’s locker rooms. The display includes a picture of the lockers and the color choices for the locker doors, inside, and solid surface counter tops for the towel drops and vanities.

I have received questions about the lighting in the locker rooms and if it will change because the lockers are darker than the current lockers. At this point we are going to use the lighting system currently in place and once the lockers are installed we will determine if we need to add lights in locations throughout the locker rooms.

The current lighting system is placed inside a box on top of the lockers with an egg-crate grate on top of the box. This box limits the amount of light and we believe by removing the lights from the box that it will actually create more light than currently exists.

Please be sure and pick up a copy of the Locker Q & A located at the display in the lobby or click on Locker Q & A near the Expansion blog on the website. Thank you.

Happy Memorial Day! We are proud to say that the weight room/business office expansion is on schedule. We have permits in hand and are looking to pour concrete this week.

Please be sure and pick up a copy of the Expansion Q & A at any desk in the club or click on the link near the Expansion blog. Answers to many of your questions can be found on the Expansion Q & A.

If you have any questions please stop by my office, call or email me. Thank you and have a great week!

We are putting together a Q & A of frequently asked questions concerning the expansion and remodel of the weight room and business/membership office. A hard copy will be available at both the front and activity desk in addition to a posting on the home page of the website. I anticipate we will have the Q & A available the beginning of next week.

In the mean time I wanted to offer some additional information about the expansion. It will be a two-story expansion with 2400 additional square feet in the weight room (1st floor) and 2400 additional square feet in the business/membership office (2nd floor). In addition to the expansion, we will be remodeling 7200 square feet of the existing weight room and stretching area and approximately 2000 square feet of the business/membership office.

The expansion is not only bigger but it’s better. The new weight room will include windows on three sides, therefore allowing natural light to flow through the entire weight room. We will be adding or replacing a few pieces of weight equipment but a big goal is to allow more space in the weight room and create more stretching and functional training areas. We will be replacing the ceiling tiles and light fixtures and will be adding some dimension to the ceiling with “painted clouds”. The current rubber floor and carpet will be replaced with Ramflex Mondo flooring in a light maple color giving the look of hardwood but the function of rubber. The area will be finished off with new paint in warm greys and accent colors.

The business/membership office will include more productive office spaces to better serve our members and guests in addition to some much needed conference room space.

There will be an architectural rendering and finish selection of both spaces in the lobby next week.

Despite the snow today, the construction company was still able to perform some excavation of the area. Please remember, for your safety it is a hard hat area and is open to construction crews only.
