PREMIER ATHLETIC CLUB, MONTROSE, NEW YORK
THE CHALLENGE
A 1994 fire shut down the Club at Montrose. The club’s owner, Val Santucci, retained ICA to develop a three-phase plan to rebuild the existing facility and add additional courts. The challenge was to develop a new look, incorporating state-of-the art technology and optimum energy efficiency into all phases of the work. The new club would operate under the name Premier Athletic Club, which presented a challenge in itself – a club of that name had to be top-notch.
THE SOLUTION
Phase One entailed renovation of the existing three-court building. The renovation included structural steel repair, installation of the Energy Miser Insulated Ceiling & Wall System, new TurboCaindle Lighting throughout, and Excel backdrop curtains. New HVAC was also installed. At the same time, the main clubhouse and locker rooms were redesigned and rebuilt, as were the fitness and dining areas.
Upon completion of the renovation, ICA then rebuilt the gymnasium. The gymnasium included new basketball equipment, a vertical stack motorized divider curtain, wall padding with new logos and a new Energy Miser Ceiling.
Phase Three of the project entailed the design and construction of two new fast-dry tennis courts with underground watering enclosed in a SportsFlex air-supported structure. The new courts, situated behind the permanent building, are connected to the main building by an elevated covered walkway. All mechanical equipment for the structure is located in a 20’ x 32’ Butler Building furnished by ICA. An underground vault was constructed to house air supply and heating systems for the structure. TurboCaindle lighting was installed throughout.
THE RESULT
The Premier Athletic Club is just that – one of the premier indoor/outdoor clubs in the Northeast. The three-phased project, completed on time and within budget, enabled the club owner to expand and improve his facility, thereby positioning it to increase membership and revenues in the future. By housing the mechanical systems for the air-supported structure underground, the structure maintains optimal climate control with minimal noise and airflow interference on the courts.
