Construction that began April 5 at the Vail Interfaith Chapel is now finishing, just in time for Vail’s busy summer season.
In the first phase of the $7 million project, the first of four over the next 18 months, construction renovations included the replacement of the west end of the parking lot and related snowmelt system, related boilers, roof replacement and new windows in the chapel itself.
“We’re very excited to return to ‘normal’ after this first phase, which was relatively simple from the Chapel staff’s perspective,” Vail Religious Foundation President Pastor Tim Wilbanks said. “It seemed easy because of the incredible efficiency and organization of our general contractor, Beck Building Co., the town of Vail’s support, and the diligent detail and professionalism of Suman Architects. We’re grateful beyond words.”
