Chamber Offices & Kiosk Renovation Project Completed

As an unusual combination of business member-driven nonprofit, community hub, visitor center, and state licensing facility, the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce sits at the nexus of many aspects of Island life. ​Here in our Renovation Project, the efficiency of all those diverse elements are actively improved and our facilities at the Ferry Terminal and on Winslow Way updated thanks to the partnership, assistance and support of the local business community.

Renovation Project Goals:

When begun in the Summer of 2021, the goals of the Renovation Project were to:

1. Add a new community meeting room at Chamber Offices for benefit and use of all Chamber members
2. Add new pop-up space in the Chamber Window on Winslow Way for benefit and use of Chamber members
3. Create more space and separation for the Licensing and Visitor Information desks at Chamber Offices
4. Reduce the energy footprint of the Chamber Offices through all-new LED lighting fixtures
5. Refresh & reimagine Chamber Offices furniture through local artisans, companies and materials
6. Give Chamber Offices much-needed refresh of walls and flooring
7. Double exterior rack card display space available 24/7 in front of the Chamber Offices
8. Give grateful thanks to all project partners via commemorative plaque at the Chamber Offices
9. Add new digital signage to both the Chamber Offices and Ferry Terminal Information Kiosk
10. Add 6x more exterior rack card display space available at the Ferry Terminal Information Kiosk 24/7
11. Give Ferry Terminal Information Kiosk interior and exterior refresh to prepare for extended hours in 2022
12. Give grateful thanks to 1995’s original project partners by remounting commemorative plaque in the Kiosk.

Now, here in May 2022, we are pleased to announce the official completion of the Renovation Project, pay tribute to all those who came together to make this community project happen, and show the hard work it took over the past 12 months…
