I'm in the club right now. I was told by one of the concierges that the "grand opening" will be on Wednesday 6/27/18.
There is all new furniture in here; I'm really liking the office chair and countertop seating overlooking Gate 15 (I'm seated next to the printer and shredder).
The new bar features roll down doors behind the bar where they can lock up the booze at night, eliminating the taking the booze off the shelf at night and replacing it in the morning. The temporary bar has been moved to a point adjacent to the permanent bar not far from the front entrance.
The divider which I thought looked ugly and cheap looks a lot better when viewed in context with the dropped ceiling which provides indirect light in the middle of the club. There are six new modernist chandeliers adorned with little lights near the windows on either side of the room.
The self-serve soda machine is in operation, and food is being served from the new buffet which is between the bar and the corridor leading to the new bathrooms.
I think the renovated club looks great!!!

There was no such signage set outside the club yesterday. I would suggest that there would be no reason to close the club, as pretty much all the construction has been completed. There is an area to the left of the new bar which has a curtain in front of it; they've stored what appears to be new furniture in that space. They still need to remove the refrigerated cases at the east side of the club where they kept yogurt and other perishable snacks. I would imagine some of this new furniture will go in that area.

I came in on a flight yesterday and will be going out this evening at 7:20. I dropped by the club yesterday and asked if it will be open today and they indicated yes – – until 8 o’clock. .

Such a nice job with this club! Drinks from the bar are being served in plastic cups though, but there is a complimentary rose which is pretty good. Packaged food/snacks are still available and you check in outside of the club now.
