Progress continues to be made on the Basement Project. The remaining fire cladding is being installed within the gym areas and beneath the floor of the Men’s Changing Room. Hording has been erected within the fencing salle and demolition has commenced to make way for the new sub-basement kitchen. Electrical first fix is being carried out throughout the gym areas and work to the Ladies Changing Room continues with tiles currently being laid.

Works continue to progress on the Basement Project. Currently taking place is fire-proofing of the steel supports to the gym areas and the underside of the new Men’s Changing Room floor.

The new window and grill openings to the rear Gym wall have been formed. Finishing touches are being made to the squash viewing gallery walls and refurbishing of the original light box on the Bruce Court ceiling.

We are near completion with the pipe work and electrical alterations within the new Steam Room area and are currently working on first fix mechanical works within all areas.

The Basement Project is on schedule and coming along well. Almost all structural works have now been completed so the focus is now on levelling the third Treatment Room and Ladies Changing Room floors and the final rendering of the walls.

The Exercise and Dance Studio walls are nearly complete with a new wall cladding system being installed over the tanked linings. The air conditioning units for the free weights and cardio area will be installed today.

The Exercise and Dance Studio will be opening in January 2012, as planned.

Phase 1 of the Project - the new Sports Reception desk, AQUA Bar, Treatment Rooms 1 and 2 and the men's lavatories are all complete and open for you to use.

    January 2011

    The year has definitely started with a bang following the commencement of the 12-month refurbishment of the basement area. Works are progressing well, both in terms of timing and budget.

    The majority of the enabling works for the new changing rooms and demolition of the area behind the squash courts have been completed with work to create two new gym floors as well as a dance studio underway. The Sports Reception, AQUA, treatment rooms and spiral staircases from the front entrance to the sports area will re-open in April.

    Your patience during the first stage of the project has been greatly appreciated and we believe that the most intrusive part of the project is now behind us.

    The new changing rooms are due to come back in September 2011 and the new cardio and free weights gyms in January 2012.

    If you would like to see more details of the project, a computer animated walk through of the proposed new areas is on permanent display outside the Thirties Room.

    On completion the Club will have:

  • Cardio gym with approximately 22 pieces of equipment
  • Free weights/personal training gym
  • Refurbished squash courts and exercise studio
  • Extension of Mens’ changing rooms – additional showers,washbasins and loos
  • Refurbishment of Ladies changing rooms
  • Steam room and new treatment rooms – a total of 3
  • Refurbished AQUA
  • New Courtyard structure

    We hope all your questions are answered in the FAQs but if you have any additional queries about the project please email Mark Anderson and we will add them to the list. Secretary@LansdowneClub.com
