First stage of St Andrews Old Course Hotel refurbishment completed
on time
International golfers and their fans staying at the Old Course Hotel
in St Andrews during the Open next week will be able to take advantage
of new facilities in the hotel spa. Keppie Interior Design have project
managed an extremely tight 17 week programme to deliver new treatment
rooms, and a new gym, as well as an upgrade to changing facilities and
retail and relaxation areas in time for next week’s big event.
Working to a design concept prepared by Corporate Edge, the project
was carried out in close collaboration with contractors Tulloch, and
as well as obtaining all the necessary Building Regulation approvals,
the team had to co-ordinate the decanting of existing facilities, stripping
out and refitting works without undue disruption or disturbance to guests
staying at the five star hotel.
As the final snagging items were dealt with, Keppie Interior Design
Director, Fraser Low, said: ‘With no margin for error in the completion
date, the key to successful on-time delivery was a true partnership
relationship between design team, contractor, and Wisconsin based client
Kohler Co.’
The new spa facilities are the first phase of a programme of developments
at the hotel that will see new hydrotherapy facilities and an enhanced
leisure pool. Keppie are also involved in developing plans for
a new rooftop Jazz Club at the hotel.
