Project Description:
Greendale were appointed on this project to refurbish a former Bournemouth Flying Club Bar and Café at Bournemouth Airport into an XLR private jet terminal. The ex-flying clubhouse originally dates from WW2 and had been vacant for the previous 3 years. Situated within the airport boundary (landside) we were instructed to carry out an internal refurbishment and redecorations, minor mechanical and electrical works and external repairs/works.
External works included brickwork repairs, new lintels and rendering, as well as new front entrance doors, portal and cladding. Internal works included a full strip out, full new electrical and mechanical installation and air conditioning fitting. The team also installed new walls, ceiling, doors, shower room and bathrooms as well as a new kitchen, refreshment station and bespoke reception desk.
A full ground works package was delivered to form a more visually pleasing landscaped area along with new carpark and external lighting. The XLR Lounge will now process all private jet customers and provide pilots and aircrew with refreshment and meeting facilities.
