Project Insight: The Board Club Surfboard lockers

A look At The Board Club’s Iconic Surfboard Lockers

Known as Newport’s Best Surf Club: The Board Club, provides a fully stocked surfboard collection for members to rent out, and an additional locker space for members to use in between catching some waves.

Hollman designed The Board Club’s iconic surfboard lockers to store surfboards while remaining able to withstand outdoor elements like water and the sun. Using phenolic material, our lockers are built to withstand wet environments – the perfect hassle-free place for wet boards to dry off.

With their extra height and open-top design, these lockers are tailor-made to accommodate even the longest surfboards. Inside, the width is carefully crafted to provide ample space for a board, alongside room to hang a wetsuit and store board wax on the shelf, ensuring every inch is optimized for surfers’ needs.

Constructed entirely with phenolic material, from the security shelf to the top and bottom bracing, these lockers are built to withstand the challenges of a water-prone environment. Additional strategically placed drainage holes at the bottom prevent any excess water buildup from hanging wetsuits or surfboards, ensuring efficient water drainage and avoiding any standing water accumulation.

Project Insight: The University of Maryland Women’s Lacrosse & Field Hockey Locker Rooms

A look at The University of Maryland Women’s Lacrosse & Field Hockey Locker Rooms

Hollman partnered with The University of Maryland to remodel the locker rooms for the women’s lacrosse and field hockey complex, playing a pivotal role in the creation of a newly upgraded state-of-the-art facility recognized as “one of the top facilities in the entire country”.

The locker rooms have a total of 68 lockers, 42 for lacrosse and 26 for field hockey, offering storage in style that highlights Maryland’s high-profile branding. Each locker is designed to accommodate the unique needs of athletes providing space for equipment, uniforms, and personal belongings. From custom-built storage compartments to branded accessories, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.

One standout feature is the incorporation of a custom-actuated-integrated lighting package. This two-tone lighting setup is complemented by seamlessly integrated ambient lighting, enhancing both the aesthetics of the space and simplifying coordination. Another notable feature is the backlit lift-up storage compartment, serving a dual purpose to both store equipment and display player graphics.

The lockers showcase a custom-mounted logo, meticulously split down the middle and seamlessly integrated into the double doors. Incorporating the iconic Maryland logo not only enhances the locker room’s aesthetic appeal but also embodies team spirit. Paired with the two-tone lighting, the Maryland logo stands out, adding a dynamic focal point to the space.

While Maryland’s lockers were custom-designed to meet specific needs, they bear a striking resemblance to Hollman’s Elevate+ Series. This standardized athletic model offers a stylish appearance while ensuring athletes have a designated space to store all their gear, guaranteeing a neat and organized environment, always ready for recruits.

Project Insights: Texas Rangers Locker Room

“Our stated goal from the very beginning was to do the first next-generation ballpark” and with the help of Hollman Athletic Lockers, they did!

“Our stated goal from the very beginning was to do the first next-generation ballpark,” said Bryan Trubey, the executive vice president for HKS who oversees the sports practice for the Dallas-headquartered architecture company that designed the $1.2 billion facility. “We did not want to do a retro ballpark. That’s been done, with some incremental changes over time.” The 40,300-seat ballpark replaced the 25-year-old Globe Life Park with many new features including a 1,000-foot-long retractable roof.

Old ballparks don’t have massive videoboards towering high over right field, like the one in Globe Life Field that is about 40 feet inside the field of play and surely a potential target for a long Joey Gallo home run, though his first one didn’t hit it.

“It’s a very beautiful ballpark,” Gallo said before becoming the first player to homer in the new place when he pulled a deep drive down the right-field line. “I assumed it would be a pitcher’s park. … You can tell center field and the gaps are going to play really, really deep.”

0:45 for a look inside the Ranger’s locker room

Hollman worked with Manhattan Construction and HKS to design the main and visitor locker rooms for the Texas Rangers. Our Research and Development department collaborated with Rangers’ players, like Joey Gallo, to create the most functional custom locker solution for their team. All 42 lockers include an edge-lit, frosted acrylic divider with custom engraving, solid surface doors with engraved Texas state, and a concealed, wireless charging station. Each locker stands over eight feet tall and all the drawers and the closet in this locker are ventilated to keep their clothes and shoes fresh.

        Project Insight: Auburn University Women’s Basketball Locker Room

        Auburn University’s women’s basketball renovated their locker room with the help of Hollman Lockers to create a unique personal space for players.

        Hollman partnered with Auburn University’s women’s basketball to upgrade their locker room with a redesign. Hollman is no stranger to Auburn, renovating the current men’s basketball locker room and creating the previous women’s basketball locker room back in 2019 (seen below).

        Auburn women’s basketball’s new head coach, Johnnie Harris, wanted the players to have their own personal space and a place to recover post-game and practice. Players spend countless hours in the practice facility and locker room, so it is crucial for them to have adequate space and storage for their belongings. Coach Harris wanted a locker design similar to the men’s basketball lockers equipped with a lot of technology and sustainable elements.

        Hollman partnered with GMC sports architecture for the design. Through collaboration with Gregory Forthofer, the Athletic Director of Facilities for Auburn, and Rachel Stiver from GMC, we created a new locker room that achieved Coach Harris’ goals.

        The new layout includes two separate sections of the lounge for the players. The first section is an open space for players, coaches, staff, and recruits to relax, review film and collaborate. The second section was designed for restoring and recovering including the locker room and vanities.

        The 17 custom-designed lockers are made of primarily Solid Surface, a durable and pore-less material designed for impact and longevity. Additional materials include custom acrylic panels and laminate.

        Creating a recovery space is nothing without equipping players with the ultimate amenities and accessories. Players can relax in heated zero-gravity massage chairs, charge their phones or tablets and store personals in their private lock boxes.

        Technology upgrades include integrating TVs, LED lighting that turns on when the locker is open and off when the locker is closed. Custom halo-lit “AU” logo that adds a unique glow effect inside the locker perfect for recruits and game day photos.

        Players will have the ability to charge any device due to the power USB duplex. Two perforated drawers for shoes allow airflow, and the locker has a ventilation system to prevent odors and reduce bacteria. Lastly, we did custom hangers with “tiger eyes” engraved in the stainless steel hangers for players to display their uniforms on.

        Our process made it easy to reach our goal to make the lockers big enough for players to be comfortable and have enough space for all their items. “This space has been designed to provide a relaxing environment while also harnessing the energetic atmosphere necessary before a game” (GMC article).

        With the project complete, Auburn’s women’s basketball team is ready for the season equipped with the ideal locker room for before and after games.

        • 17 player lockers
        • Zero gravity chair with massage and heating capabilities

              • Lower pull-out drawer with Aluminum grille for ventilation
