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.

              Project Insights | SESSION Pilates

              Inside Hollman’s locker project with Dallas’ up-and-coming Pilates studio.

              In 2016, Brittany Grignon brought her dreams to life when she opened her first Pilates studio in the heart of downtown Dallas. Grignon’s studio, SESSION Pilates, is based around an upbeat 50-minute workout designed to sharpen and tone your physique through a full mind and body workout.

              Fast forward 6 years, SESSION Pilates has become an extremely successful studio in the Dallas area, growing to four locations. Being a new owner in the fitness industry, Brittany turned to Hollman to get guidance on the best locker fit.

              With a brand-new studio being designed, a budget-friendly locker was ideal for this new gym owner. “When it comes to building and starting a new business, all of it is already stressful so having something that I could check off the list that I knew I didn’t have to worry about was actually very reassuring”, says Grignon. Hollman had the solution with the Essentials Collection, curated to be cost-effective, durable, and easy to order with a 4-6 week turn-around on lockers.   

              With the right locker chosen, a triple-tier model C locker, Sessions Pilates was pleased and continued to use Hollman as their locker go-to with each additional studio location.

              “We wanted our lockers to be a big focal point for the space – eye-catching, but function, giving our clients a sense of security. Each location has a different style of Hollman lockers, they all play a part in the feel and aesthetic of each location”, exclaims Brittany.  

              As SESSION Pilates continues to grow, Hollman is happy to be along side them as they expand. SESSION is currently located in the Dallas neighborhoods of Uptown, Lakewood, Lovers Lane, and recently the city of Plano.

                    Project Insights | Parkland Moody Outpatient Center

                    Parkland Center’s new lockers provided by Hollman

                    Located in Dallas, TX, the newly built six-story, 540,000 square foot Parkland Moody Outpatient Center houses multiple physicians, treatment facilities, and a first-floor cafe. Throughout the building, Parkland needed a solution to provide employees and patients with a place to store personal belongings during their visits. By teaming up with Hollman, The Parkland Moody Outpatient Center added medical lockers in key locations throughout the hospital.

                    CHALLENGE

                    Like other hospitals, Parkland wants to provide germ-free, clean, and safe facilities for its employees and patients. They wanted their lockers to be durable, easy to use, and functional.

                    Medical Lockers - Laminate
                    SOLUTION + BENEFITS

                    Parkland appointed the project to McCarthy Construction, who worked together with our team of consultants to ensure the lockers created were the perfect fit for the center. The result was a combination of medical locker solutions to maximize space and increase functionality.

                    With the help of Hollman & McCarthy Construction, we were able to create a solution that achieved the goals set forth by Parkland. Hollman assembled two-tier model B lockers for each location in the center. The team chose a high-pressure laminate in ginger root maple to give the locker a clean finish. For easy access, we provided 5pin Key Lock. The lockers feature ADA pulls to ensure capability for all.

                    Location of Lockers: Moody Center for Breast Health changing rooms, Outpatient Rehab Facility, hallway lockers for staff lounge & employee lockers on the first-floor café.

                          Project Insights | Charlotte Football Club

                          Inside Bank of America Stadium’s $50 million renovations, Hollman helps create Charlotte’s newest soccer club locker room.

                          After a delay due to COVID-19, the Charlotte Football Club (Charlotte FC) made its inaugural debut this past February at the Bank of America Stadium. The team, which shares the venue with the Carolina Panthers, was led on with a renovation to include the club with their own space inside the stadium. With the goal of raising the standard for Major League Soccer venues in the United States, the $50 million dollar renovation demonstrates to competitors that Charlotte FC is the new standard. 

                          One of the most vital upgrades to the stadium was including a club-only locker room, deeming it a viable necessity for the new team’s success. Hollman teamed up with Populous’ Dallas office to create a design that both honored the club’s European roots and the rich traditions of Charlotte, North Carolina.  

                          “The stadium enhancements are designed to provide the ideal environment for soccer. We looked at Premier League venues and many other stadiums around the world to ensure this is a truly great experience for our players and fans”, exclaims Mark Hart, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Tepper Sports & Entertainment.

                          Hollman’s team took large attention to detail when it came to designing the locker room including a polished design where primary storage was hidden in the interior of the locker. The custom Nanolam design included a fully ventilated system to decrease drying time and odor, multi-cleat storage drawers, custom marine grade double stitched vinyl cushions, and a personal lockbox with Digilock’s Digilock Axis for security.

                          Customization played a huge part in designing the club’s dream locker including player personalization options with magnetic laminate on the backside of the storage door for displaying personal belongings, removable backlit top panel, and custom laser engraved game day hooks to show off the club’s logo.

                          “This locker room will rival any soccer locker room in the world,” says Hart, “A soccer locker room is very different from an NFL locker room: there are very specific warm-up and training areas, and the space needs to be more intimate. Hence, it was very important for us to create separate locker rooms for soccer, giving a permanent presence for our players, coaches and staff”.

                          The renovations debuted on March 5th, and with the help of Hollman, Inc., the newest football club had a great first impression.

                          • Black Nanolam
