Workers will strip additions and remodeling to restore the original look of the lodge, built in the early 1920s. New construction will include a handicap-accessible public entrance in the back of the lodge, a larger dining area, a new kitchen and gift shop.

ARC International architectural firm of Rapid City is handling the designs.

The work is the last major component of a two-year, $12 million facility improvement project, said Doug Hofer, state director of parks and recreation. The 2007 state Legislature approved the project.

The Game Lodge project will begin after the Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup and Art Festival, Sept. 27-29. The project is due to be finished May 1.

Scull Construction has experience working in the park; it recently remodeled and expanded the Sylvan Lake Auditorium.

Other major projects included improvements at the Blue Bell Lodge and Store, installation of camping cabins and construction of Creekside Lodge, along Grace Coolidge Creek on the State Game Lodge grounds.

you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
