Keeping up with Club projects Summer brings some new changes to the WAC Clubhouse. e most noticeable is the reopening of the service elevator, which resumed operation in late May. With that, the second phase of the Eleva- tor Modernization Project began as the middle of the three main high-rise cars was taken out of service. Work on that car will take approximately 13 weeks and will be followed by modernization of the other two main cars. Members may con- tinue to navigate the Clubhouse without delay by using the stairs. Signage around the Club and in the stairwells will help you get where you're going. Car 4 Car 6 Car 5 Service Car 100% t Phase 2: Renovations to Car 5 are now underway.
