Boathouse

The women’s locker room at the University Barge Club boathouse was originally constructed around twenty years ago when there were only a dozen women members. Since the number of women has now tripled, the locker room was being outgrown. A renovation was necessary to add a third shower and more lockers. We were able to regain more space by carving into the two foot thick wall, which we discovered still encased the old mansard slate roof. Pushing the showers back allowed us to create a bench and a center row of wooden lockers to match the existing style with wire mesh fronts. With the added space were we’re also able to design a dry vanity for the women to use. As the membership continues to grow, small cubby storage will also be built on top of the existing lockers.
