The Rendezvous Lodge – Whistler Blackcomb
Assessment and renovation of this 1980’s building located in the alpine zone of Blackcomb Mountain. Since the addition of the Peak-to-Peak Gondola, the Rendezvous has become a year-round tourist attraction, providing food and facilities, but was inefficient and in need of a renovation.
With increased summer on-mountain activities and ever-increasing numbers of skiers, the building was suffering significant wear and tear and was in need of renewal. The renovation successfully reconfigured the building to improve flow, reduce congestion, update the interior and exterior finishes, and replace ineffective building components. User experience is improved, patron flow and throughput are optimized, and the useful life of a building asset is extended. The project was realized with a modest budget and a short summer construction window.
