GLENEAGLES GOLF CLUBHOUSE UPDATE AND
ADDITION
District of West Vancouver
West Vancouver, British Columbia
Project Year 2008

The District of West Vancouver undertook to renovate and
add to the existing Gleneagles Golf Course clubhouse. The original Panabode
structure dated back to the early 1950s and held considerable historic and
sentimental significance with local residents. Rather than take the simple
approach and start with a fresh sheet; the municipality chose to retain the
character and history of the existing building, with the associated challenges
of bringing it up to current seismic codes and connecting it to a new addition.
The existing building was partially demolished and gutted and a 4000 sq ft
addition allowed the adding of a kitchen and bistro, and amalgamation of the old
separate pro shop under one roof.
MG Engineering’s contribution to the project began with a review of the
structural design work done to date by the builder and the previous structural
engineer; making revisions as necessary. The District required a full seismic
review of the existing structure, a report on the impact of the new building on
the existing structure, and a review of the Code Conformance of the existing
structure. MG provided backup for work done on the project to date; connection
details between the existing building and the foundation, review of the TJI
floor, and details of the concrete foundation work completed. Appropriate
professional documentation was provided for the District in the form of: BC
Building Code 2006, Part 4, Structural Design analysis, and Schedules B1, B2 and
C-B. MG personnel liaised with the District, the architects and the builder as
construction proceeded, and made regular site inspections to monitor the work.
