Elks Lodge Reimagined

Elks Lodge Reimagined Class

Presented by: Avery Vetter, Ethan Schaefer, Nala Harris, Naia Jurgenson

We’re focusing our remodel on three key areas: the bar, the clubhouse, and the poolside facade. Each of these spaces has historically been central to social life at the Lodge—and we believe they have the potential to be reactivated as lively, inclusive hubs for the future.

From the Jury:

Single Element Impact – A bold concept that uses a 30-car drive-in to cleverly reconnect the Lodge to the broader community.

Programming alterations and additions.

Drive-In Theater
We’re proposing a 30-car-capacity drive-in movie theater. A nostalgic yet forward thinking addition that reconnects the Lodge to wider community. It’s a playful mid-century Americana, but also strategic to attract audiences of all ages.

Elk’s Lounge
Comfortable lounge areas, pool tables, and improved lighting will encourage casual gatherings and longer visits. Most importantly, We’ll showcase Elks memorabilia here-consolidating the Lodge’s history into a meaningful, curated space.

Bar
A mid-century speakeasy: warm, moody, and built for conversation. his transformation is about more than design—it’s about giving the Elks a space that reflects their dignity, hospitality, and enduring camaraderie.

Flow + Form
Future for the Elks
