ON THE BOARDS
BACKGROUND
Located in the heart of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, Berkeley Hall Club offers its members sophisticated Southern Hospitality. In response to its strategic vision of fostering a dynamic fitness and wellness culture, the Club embarked on a journey to revamp its Island Campus facilities. Spanning over a century of tradition and excellence, the Club recognized the need to align its fitness offerings with contemporary preferences and member expectations.
OUR APPROACH
The existing 9,890 SF building will receive comprehensive enhancements, including reconfigurations, expansions, and aesthetic renewal. The foremost priority will be to enhance circulation and usability throughout the facility, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for members. The plan includes an expansion of the campus by an additional 1,930 SF, strategically designed to accommodate the demand for diverse fitness and wellness experiences.
The new Spa & Fitness Center will include a 1,600 SF group exercise classroom designed to cater to various fitness needs and be partitioned into two separate classrooms when necessary (a 154% increase in group exercise space compared to the existing setup). The Cardio & Strength Training area will be expanded by 30% to accommodate a diverse array of equipment and training options, ensuring members have access to cutting-edge fitness resources that cater to their individual goals.
The Spa area will receive a modest expansion to accommodate two larger treatment rooms, alongside an adjacent lounge and storage area. This thoughtful addition will not only enhance the wellness offerings but also provide a serene retreat for members seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Entry Foyer will also be aesthetically enhanced to create an inviting first impression upon entering the Spa & Fitness Center. In addition, locker rooms, auxiliary fitness rooms, Pilates studios, physical therapy spaces, offices, and corridors will also be aesthetically enhanced to create a cohesive ambiance throughout the facility.
The project’s comprehensive approach also considers potential expansion opportunities, ensuring that any future growth would seamlessly integrate with the existing renovation plans.
