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.
