Project Insight: Wake Forest University Men and Women’s Basketball

Wake Forest University’s Men and Women Basketball unveiled their newly constructed clubhouses with upgraded locker rooms by Hollman, Inc.

Wake Forest University unveiled their newly constructed Chris Paul Family Men’s Basketball and Dr. Caryl Guth Women’s Basketball Clubhouses this past September. The new Clubhouses’ expansions include upgraded locker rooms that are more than double their current club spaces. One of the primary goals of their clubhouse expansion was to create a locker room that was not only attractive to recruits but a more inclusive environment for current players.

Wake Forest University is no stranger to Hollman Lockers; already renovating multiple locker rooms through us. Wake Forest’s Associate Athletic Director, Craig Zakrzewski, and University Planning and Construction Sr. Project Manager, Jill Perry, visited Hollman’s headquarters in Irving, TX. The group included Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce’s President, Ken McDaniel, and Vannoy & Sons Construction Company, Inc.’s General Contractor, Jon-Michael Broyles.

Their visitation included a manufacturing tour and a review of the mock-ups for the Men and Women’s future lockers with our athletics team. By doing this, Wake Forest could see Hollman’s full manufacturing capabilities as well as discover concepts that were later added to their design. With this hands-on approach, the members could get a vision of what the locker room could be and work with our experts to make changes, adaptations, and additions to ensure the lockers fulfill student-athlete needs.

The lockers are comprised of primarily black Nanolam and Solid Surface materials with the Acrylic Pocket Doors that are back painted with the school’s “Demon Deacon” and “Wake Forest” verbiage displayed across the lockers as added team spirit. The teams did not mess around when it came to customization pieces that truly lit up the room – literally. The lockers include RGB LED lighting displayed throughout the locker including continuous toe-kick lighting underneath the locker and backlit acrylic shelves that can be seen when the locker interior is exposed. 

The Men and Women’s lockers include 43’ inch commercial cloud-based displays above each locker, ideal for player personalization and team graphics. Behind the concealing doors, players can find interior hanging space that includes a ventilation slot to drop down drying time, three shelves for easy access storage, a lockable shelf accented with gold felt liner and a wireless charging station. 

The key difference between the two locker rooms is the lower section of the locker where the soft-closing cleat drawer is placed. It was determined that the men’s team required more space in the drawer for storage while the women’s team opted for a seating option. The women’s locker includes integrated seating with marine-grade vinyl cushions; the drawer is conveniently located underneath and can be accessed through the cushion. 

With the clubhouses complete, the student-athletes are fully equipped for their upcoming season and through Hollman’s design efforts, both teams have a locker room that is made for lasting impressions and team celebrations.

        Project Insights: Michigan State University Munn Ice Arena

        Munn Ice Arena renovations give Spartan Hockey a world-class arena with the help of Hollman Lockers

        Home of Michigan State University’s Spartan Hockey team, Munn Ice Arena, has completed its largest renovation to date. After breaking ground in 2019, the renovation was halted due to the pandemic, now four years later, the hockey facility has gotten its much needed facelift. 

        When it came to the locker room renovations for the Spartans, one of the primary drives of the restoration was to create a space for the players to bond and to promote fellowship. Not only was space within the locker room necessary, but the lockers themselves needed to handle the large and heavy equipment involved with hockey.

        Hollman came into the picture, presenting a locker that was designed for MSU based on current player habits and needs. Having the locker room located in an ice arena, it was important to ensure the lockers were durable against the environment. The main component of the lockers were created with black Phenolic, a notoriously durable and water-resistant material; while the integrated benches were made with marine-grade vinyl cushions constructed to withstand water. Using these products will guarantee the lockers stay pristine even with heavy use. 

        Along with durability, the lockers were strategically designed to shelf and hang the necessary pieces of gear without overloading the unit. In general, hockey requires a lot of gear for protective purposes, meaning the design needed to be able to categorize a large volume. 

        Each locker includes three tiers of shelving made to hold helmets, all pads, gloves, and personal items. Below each integrated seat is a lift-up piece for additional storage. One of the unique features of the model is the face-mounted custom skate hooks placed on the lower portion of the locker, designed to keep skates obscured and localized in front of the lower ventilation system to help reduce dry time and bacterial growth. 

        “The thought process to have a changing area where each guy has their own space to put their stuff in so we can keep our locker room orderly, and that’s one thing we talked about as a group. Its super important to us to be a steward of that space…we can say thank you but I think the way you take care of it is the best way to show you appreciate it so that place is going be spotless”, Adam Nightingale, MSU Hockey Head Coach.

        Renovations to Munn Ice Arena were completed this past September, just in time for the Spartan’s regular season. With the facility’s upgrades and the help of Hollman, alums and players are sure to be proud for years to come.

                    Project Insights | Neighborly

                    Neighborly Workspace Lockers Provided by Hollman

                    Neighborly Plano TX

                    Hollman has helped pave the way for hybrid, dynamic workplaces. Our project with Neighborly perfectly illustrates that Hollman is more than just lockers. Neighborly, the global franchisor of home service brands, sought to expand its headquarters by opening a new office in Irving, TX. “We’ve been looking for some time now for the right opportunity to open a new Neighborly hub in the North Texas area that is perfectly suited for the continued growth of our worldwide business,” said Mike Bidwell, president and CEO of Neighborly. 

                    Neighborly’s goals for the office are to expand, with plans to grow from 60 to 200 full-time associates, including existing and entirely new positions, by 2026. With 34,000 square feet to work with, Hollman got busy.

                    By understanding that the workplace has pivoted from traditional to hybrid, Neighborly sought out storage solutions that would provide employees, in and out of the office, with a safe and secure location to store personal items. They needed collaboration spaces, refreshment centers, and elegant ways to keep waste and recycle bins… they needed more than just lockers. And with years of experience customizing projects, Hollman was perfect for the job. We were able to curate a solution tailored to fit all of Neighborly’s needs.

                    The storage solutions were placed throughout the office, beginning at the entrance near the employee lounge. The first solution you see when you walk in is the Double Tier – Model B locker wall built with our smooth finish Laminate in designer white. The use of white helps to create an illusion of space that opens the room. The Model B configuration allows for added storage for employees to hang garments and accessories like a purse, laptop bags, small suitcases, umbrellas, etc.

                    Hollman Workspace Lockers

                    Hollman utilized the Model A lockers to create credenzas for collaboration spaces and refreshment centers. These credenzas were built with Textured Laminate to imitate the look and feel of natural wood. The use of laminate offers a more durable and sustainable approach to that of using solid wood. As seen in the image above, labeled bins were incorporated into the design to allow an elegant space for waste and recycling. The results of this project gave them a space where they feel comfortable housing their number of employees and for future dynamic changes.

                          Project Insights | University of Maryland Football Locker Room

                          University of Maryland’s new football facility is transformational for players with renovations from Hollman Athletic lockers.

                          After years of planning and building, the University of Maryland unveiled Jones-Hill House, a brand-new facility that will home their football program. With a revamp in mind, Hollman Inc. became involved to create an eye-catching locker room to complement the other remodels.

                          The University of Maryland’s goals with the renovations were to improve the program’s ability to develop a student-athlete experience and attract recruits. Hollman’s engineering and research and development teams got creative by designing a locker that emphasized storage, ventilation, and representation of the great state of Maryland. 

                          The lockers are comprised of hybrid materials with a solid surface, Nanolam, the latest micro-technology lamination whose super-opaque surface has a velvet, soft-to-the-touch finish. Each locker included powder-coated, stainless-steel edging and additional phenolic and acrylic finishes. Above all, the real attraction is the high degree of personalization and branding that went into each locker and cubby.

                          The new lockers each include custom, backlit nameplates with each player’s head shots, position, and hometown. All include lower ventilated deck pullout drawers with a custom monochrome facsimile of the state flag of Maryland, embossed on a perforated metal grill.

                          In addition to the lockers, each of the 126 cubbies featured an overstuffed custom leather Captain’s Chair, embossed with Maryland’s classic M Bar logo, capable of fully reclining. The recliners also featured full power outlets, USB charging stations, and Digilock, a secure and lockable storage area with vertically recessed interior lighting.

                          “This is the standard for Maryland,” University of Maryland’s Damon Evans exclaims, “This is the standard that we have to set when we build facilities here for our student-athletes. We talk about inspiring Maryland pride. This inspires pride”.

                          Hollman completed the University of Maryland locker room renovation and installation in conjunction with local women-owned business enterprises, who sourced 10% of all materials, goods, and services to benefit the immediate community.

                          With renovations being complete, the Terrapins were ready for their upcoming season and, with the help of Hollman, had the perfect locker room for it.

                                Project Insight | The Bar Method

                                Learn about how Hollman, Inc. helped The Bar Method design their first Texas-based studio.

                                A renowned barre studio since 2001, The Bar Method (TBM), made its way into the Park Cities – Dallas scene in 2011. TBM workout incorporates Pilates, yoga, and various strength training methods into a ballet-inspired workout, all backed by physical therapy. Don’t worry, a dance background isn’t necessary for this workout!

                                We got together with Crystal Cavender, a six-year studio manager and teacher of the Park Cities location. As the first location of TBM in Texas, the studio wanted to make a lasting impression on its newest members. Hollman was contacted to help create a locker layout suitable for TBM’s vision and to help with membership loyalty and satisfaction. 

                                TBM chose a triple-tier Model C locker in Designer White, complimenting their sleek studio layout. “Our customers love the added amenity at our studio. Being able to come in and safely put their things in a room, lock it up, and head to class knowing their things are there when they finish was so important to us”, Cavender explains. 

                                Our laminate lockers are functional and designed to last. TBM still has their original lockers from 2011, Crystal states [the lockers are] “extremely durable and still beautiful, anytime we need service Hollman is just an email or call away, and they’re on it,” justifying that overtime Hollman lockers are capable of withstanding high-traffic and heavy use from members. 

                                Since the initial Texas launch, The Bar Method has expanded across Texas and the nation. To learn more about The Bar Method check out their site.
