Dynalectric Oregon Plays Key Role in Timberline Lodge Renovation After 2024 Fire

In 2024, a roof fire damaged the iconic Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, forcing the historic landmark to close temporarily, along with the surrounding ski areas. Fortunately, thanks to the quick and effective response from emergency crews, the Lodge reopened just several days later with no injuries reported. 

Timberline Lodge, constructed in 1937 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977, is not only a vital part of Oregon’s heritage but also famously served as the exterior for the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel The Shining.

Amidst the recovery efforts, Dynalectric Oregon was called in to assist with the remediation and renovation work, ensuring the Lodge was restored to its former glory while meeting the modern demands of guests.

Dynalectric Oregon, a trusted partner in the Pacific Northwest for over 80 years, is affiliated with both NECA and IBEW as well as LEED Accredited, underscoring their commitment to sustainability. Their team brought their expertise to Timberline Lodge’s renovation, including new modern luxuries.

In January 2025, a new pool and hot tub were officially completed and ready to welcome guests. The centerpiece of the project, the glass-enclosed pool, offers unobstructed views of the majestic surrounding mountains, providing guests with a unique and relaxing experience after a day on the slopes.

Dynalectric Oregon’s team oversaw the electrical aspects of the project, handling everything from demolition to installation. Their work included the installation of the state-of-the-art pool mechanical room and equipment, the heated pool and spa, lighting control systems, snow melting systems, the sky bridge connecting the hotel, and the updated bathroom facilities.

This project exemplifies Dynalectric Oregon’s commitment to excellence, sustainability, and the community, as they continue to serve the electrical needs of the Pacific Northwest with a dedication to both preserving the past and embracing the future.

As Timberline Lodge continues to welcome visitors from around the world, the transformation of its facilities ensures the Lodge will remain a timeless retreat, offering both historic charm and modern amenities for generations to come.
