Fall Progress Update

Since the Membership approved Renew ’22 at the Annual General Meeting in June, Management and the Board of Directors have wasted no time putting plans in motion.

Prime Consultant Selection Process

In July, the Board of Directors and Management, in consultation with Make Projects (Project Manager), conducted a competitive bidding process to hire an architectural firm to be the Club’s Prime Consultant for the Renew ‘22 project.

The Prime Consultant, through an integrated design process, will lead, manage and coordinate a team of consultants to develop architectural and engineered plans that will then be tendered for construction proposals.

Through this competitive process, four proposals were evaluated on selection criteria that included relevant experience, key personnel, solution and price. Three firms were short-listed for in-person interviews by our Renew ’22 Committee, which includes representatives from the Board of Directors, Management and Make Projects.

We are proud to announce that hcma Architects + Design (hcma) is the firm that has been awarded the contract. hcma has vast experience in large scale community projects with challenging phasing, complex coordination requirements and discerning stakeholders. hcma has assembled a team of trusted consultants for the delivery of our project, including Box Interior Design (Box). Box recently worked with the Arbutus Club to transform their clubhouse and is currently working with Hollyburn to transform our corridors as part of the Corridor Improvement Plan. Box will bring significant experience and capability with respect to the creative direction of the food and beverage components of the project.

Next Steps: Stakeholder Engagement and Detailed Design (Sep–Dec)

hcma has already begun consultation with a number of key stakeholder groups, including employee groups, Activity Committees (food and beverage committee and youth committee) and our newly established Renew ‘22 Member Design Advisory Committee (R’22 MDAC) to start schematic and detailed design planning. Our R’22 MDAC consists of 13 volunteer Members with a variety of backgrounds including project management, architecture and interior design. We look forward to collaborating with all of these groups and hcma to accomplish our goal of meeting Members’ needs and expectations.
