M A R C H 2 0 2 2 | 65 Royal Glenora Club Modernization R EN D ER I N G CO U RT E S Y A RC S T U D I O runs throughout the club that had been covered up and has now been refreshed and refinished, to the wind- ing staircase that takes members up to the large dining area, bar, and lounge with the existing stone fireplace that has been cleaned and repointed. "Even the existing mature front entry evergreen trees that required removal have been re-purposed into a new life as the dining tables in the new dining room and lounge. This special- ized work was completed by TruWood Artisans in Edmonton," says Walker. As with any modernization of a building of this age, challenges arose. "There were many surprises with the existing infrastructure that were not foreseen at the onset. As a result, the scope of work needed to be adjusted to meet the approved budget," says Wayne McDaniel at Carlson. In fact, in some ways it was like excavating an old site in that as layers were peeled back they found "one area had three ceil- ings, another area had four layers of floor covering, while in another area, an electrical panel had been completely hidden in the wall," explains Boyd. McDaniel adds that there were many areas that had to be structurally reinforced and 30 percent of the old roof is new. The electrical service and distribution to the building is brand new along with new mechanical equipment and systems for all the new additions, as well as the renovated areas. The indoor sprinkler system has also been upgraded to improve fire safety. To a new member and visitor, it would be easy to mistake the Club as a new build, however for existing mem- bers those subtle tie-ins to the past remain clear and dear to them, while they can now enjoy a building that resembles one cohesive and contem- porary project. "This is more than a renovation, it is a complete metamorphosis of the 60-year-old facility. As the project nears completion, members are now able to fully appreciate the complexity, size, and stunning architecture. They can have a sense of pride when invit- ing friends and business associates. The renovation once again solidi- fies the Royal Glenora's reputation as Edmonton's premier athletic and social club," says Walker.
