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.
