The rest of the new club is nice (a little too much furniture crowded together but oh well) but the restroom is a complete, total joke.
When i used the facilities on Saturday night there were signs on top of the sink saying something like Delta is aware of the faucet issue and will be fixing/replacing it shortly.

Makes sense - the entire bathroom isn't the must functional thing in the world, but the faucet issue is the worst - I imagine it can't be to code, though I'm not in construction.

I was in there Monday morning and was able to wash my hands in the men's room without any issues. In fact, I didn't notice anything about the sinks, really - just did what I had to do, did my regular stabbing-someone-in-the-eye-while-trying-to-get-the-touchless-faucet-to-work, and washed up. Hands were nowhere near touching the basin.

This was my first time in the B club so I have no prior experience to compare it to, but perhaps the faucets got fixed over the weekend?

I am here now, so I went and took a look. Compared to my previous visits, it appears that they have shortened the horizontal part of the spigot by an inch or two. Because of the angle of the sink basin, moving the outlet closer to the wall has the effect of increasing the space available for your hands.

It is definitely more usable now, but I wish they had gone another inch or so shorter while they were messing with it.

As an aside, I was in one of the concourse restrooms of another airport in the past couple of weeks (LAX? DTW? Maybe SEA?) which had more or less the same configuration - though it was more like the current config than what I saw here previously.

Edit: a couple of additional observations - it appears that they did something about the banging of the restroom door, so that's one less annoyance. The floor in front of the soft drink dispenser was much less sticky than last time I was there. The Chicken Noodle Soup was pretty darn good today. Also, I noticed one the way out that the maximum capacity is listed as over 1,200 people. Think about that next time you complain about it being crowded....

I finally was able to visit last weekend, Delta did very well with this Club. My only issue was how long it takes to get checked in. When I left at 10:40 AM there was a line of about 15 people waiting to get admitted. Still though, compared to what we used to have, this is amazing.

Well....there's one thing I miss about ATL B10 SC.

It was nice being able to use a bathroom stall that wasn't the width of the average Y seat on a CR2.

This club has officially set a record....

THE MOST COMPLAINED ABOUT CROWN ROOM CLUB --> SKYCLUB --> RENOVATED SKYCLUB IN THE SYSTEM!

Anyone disagree?

Sitting back with a Woodford and popcorn now...

Regards,
TFD

PS: I have been using this specific B10 club since 1997 so I agree with most of the complaints!

I honestly do not mind the B SkyClub, prefect no, but it is nice and serves my needs which admittedly may not line up with others who are business travelers.

As a leisure traveler who didn't pay much for a lifetime Northwest World Club membership, I honestly cannot complain.

Decent free beer, a nice food selection, I especially like the Pasta Salad and while I would have preferred the Mac and Cheese to the new offering of Grilled Chicken, I am honestly happy and prefer it to the Admiral's clubs.

Yes, the lines can be long to check in but I do not mind waiting as I truly have nowhere better to be and I purposely book myself longer connections (minimum 2.5 -3 hours though generally 3.5 hours) to alleviate the stresses of missing connections again, my personal situation probably does not line up with many here.

Kudos to High Service

Have had the chance to enjoy the B Concourse Skyclub multiple times since its opening. Today I was offered a drink early on in my stay and a refill on my wine by associates working the room. Such a great level of service. Look forward to many more visits. Thank you!!

Why didn't they air condition it? Seriously! Down here in Florida, there are many places which air condition outdoor spaces. Restaurants, flea markets, even residential homes & condos do this here.

The cost is relatively minimal and in some cases the energy usage is nil. At my old house, the HVAC contractor had the HVAC system set up as a positive-pressure system, with the "stale" air getting dumped into my garage. At my parents' condo, we installed ACs on their balcony. It's not that difficult to engineer this stuff.
