I was told the back set of cubicles will NOT be removed.

Chatted with one of the DL staff there today while I was waiting for my flight. She said the place is pretty much gutted currently. The conference room is gone for sure. When she visited the site there was still a bit of wood left in the entry and near the former bar space. They have not been told how the new furnishings will look. Some of what was there was shipped off to be redone and used at other spaces, some reupholstered and also some new pieces coming in. The have no idea how 'Targetized' (or not) the remodeled space will be.

I don't mind them renovating this club. I find the layout a bit odd and it being hard to find outlets. Plus, some of the furniture is getting a bit old.
Plus, if it means more food I'm all for it.

I did always find the club a little cramped and split up too much into separate rooms. I would be surprised if they do away with all the cubes as some are on the complete other side of the kitchen from the bathrooms, and I doubt they will move those just due to cost (could be wrong though).
My actual biggest complaint about the club is pretty silly, but the high-pile carpet made it tough to wheel suitcases on.

IMO the new SFO club is really beautiful. I think they added some good color and design elements that helped to warm it up, not to mention the gorgeous huge windows overlooking the tarmac. Also, I've never found it to be overly crowded. I think it's the best SC right now.
It was time for the BNA Sky Club to be gutted and re-built. The club was dated and had an inefficient layout given the small space and trends in public gathering spaces. There was wasted space in the bar set-up and the buffet was cobbled together and incapable of properly handling new food options. The restrooms, at least the men's room, was not designed for the number of people that cycle through the club. It will be interesting to see how Delta transforms the space for a small club. I'm looking forward to a new BNA Sky Club.

Does that mean that CVG will be the only club left with a conference room? I noticed P&G has a plaque next to the CVG conference room so I'm guessing they utilize it frequently. To

The SFO Sky Club is one of the best in the system and my favorite. (side note: a Sky Deck would have been really nice)

This is pretty accurate. Too many people to really get any pictures, but the overall layout hasn't changed much. The luggage room that used to be right up front is now where the check in desk is. The middle "quiet room" and the 2 side rooms have now been opened up into 1 big area with the above mentioned seating. The bar, the snackbar, and the little cube desks off to the far right side are all redone, but in the same area with the same layout.
