Project Insights: Clemson University – Men’s Basketball Locker Room

Clemson University Men’s Basketball new locker room is “next level” with the help of Hollman, Inc.

Following their 2020-21 season, Clemson University Men’s Basketball team got the renovation they needed to enhance their student-athlete experience. Clemson’s Associate AD of Facilities Management and Capital Projects, Eric Sabin, took on the task by contacting Hollman, Inc. with the intention of redesigning their player’s second home.

Clemson came to Hollman wanting to improve accessibility, automation, and layout. The redesign’s goal was to maximize space, integrate technology, and maintain continuity with the other facilities on campus. 

With growth in mind, a refined look was wanted for the locker room to attract recruits. The previous locker room had open-faced lockers that exposed all the player’s belongings. With a lack of storage options and with prospects in mind, Hollman stepped in to help resolve their problems.

The new locker room features include customized Clemson emblems including the term “Grit” inspired by Coach Brownell, UV printed paw handles, LCD displays with cloud-based drivers, and an anti-microbial design. 

The lockers were built with edge-lit floating acrylic shelves, interior personal storage, and a ventilated shoe drawer to maximize storage. Technology advancements include wireless charging and personalized LCD displays providing information to let players stay updated with schedules, statistics, weather, and more. 

“This place is sweet man. It’s definitely a nice treat,” exclaims PJ Hall at the teams locker room reveal. 

The result was a locker room providing all necessary storage and premium technology desired. With the project completed, Clemson’s basketball team got the revamp needed to keep the program satisfied for years to come.

  • Black Nanolam
  • Wilsonart Columbian Walnut 
  • LED display 
  • Stainless steel
  • Edge lit floating shelves
  • Wireless charging station
  • Double frosted acrylic 
  • Shoe drawers with custom ventilation system

                    Hollman, Inc. Victory in Trade Secrets Case

                    Longhorn Lockers’ Claims Denied

                    October 21, 2020 – Irving, Texas.  Hollman, Inc., a national leader in the design and manufacture of custom lockers and storage solutions, announced a victory in its long-pending state court legal dispute with Longhorn Lockers, LLC.  

                    Longhorn sued Hollman in 2017 in Dallas, Texas.  Longhorn Lockers claimed that Hollman had a long history of misappropriated trade secrets and designs from Longhorn and used those tactics to win a contract with the New Orleans Saints.  The Court rejected all of Longhorn’s claims by summary judgment order on October 19, 2020.  The finding; Longhorn had no trade secrets and Hollman did not misappropriate anything from Longhorn leaving for trial only as Hollman’s claims against Longhorn for business torts and attorney’s fees.

                    Travis Hollman, President of Hollman, Inc., commented, “We believed Longhorn’s claims were baseless from the beginning.  They lost a contract and sought a legal remedy for advantages they could not win in the marketplace.  We are pleased with the Court’s acknowledgment that Longhorn’s claims didn’t even warrant a trial.  Hollman has been an industry leader for 44 years – we’ve installed over 10 million lockers for national sports teams, both college and pro, as well as Fortune 500 companies.  It shouldn’t surprise anyone – especially Longhorn – that teams seek out our designs and products.”

                    Hollman will be working with the court for Longhorn to compensate for loss of business and attorney fees.

                    Project Insights: West Virginia University Football Locker Room

                    With the help of Hollman Athletic Lockers, “the guys love the lockers”

                    “Their lockers are absolutely huge,” Patrick Johnston, director of football operations, added.
                    “They are 42 inches wide with tons of storage space.”

                    Earlier this month the team at West Virginia University unveiled their new facility at Mountaineer Field. This locker room renovation was all a part of WVU’s Climbing Higher campaign and transformed their previous 5,625 square feet space to 11,125 square feet.

                    “The result is a spacious place and lavish lockers that feature wireless cell phone chargers, a lockable compartment with an internal charging port, a stainless steel shoe and glove display drawer, a stainless steel helmet shelf, a backlit individual upper nameplate that includes a picture of the player and a listing of his jersey number, position and hometown, a clothing rod for game day apparel, a hook for the uniform and additional storage in an upper cabinet and a lower drawer.”

                    “The guys love the lockers,” said head coach, Neal Brown. “They’re spacious. They’ve got their own chargers, their own plugs, their hometown and their picture up above them and the music and video boards throughout are impressive.” (247sports.com)

                    “What’s even more impressive is the fact that enough room was carved out for former Mountaineer players now playing in the NFL who regularly return to campus during the offseason to work out with strength and conditioning coach Mike Joseph.” (wvusports.com)

                    A few West Virgina football alumni, Stedman Bailey Sr, former WVU wide receiver, and Daryl Worley, former WVU and current Dallas Cowboys cornerback, took notice of the locker room renovation:
