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.

        Located in Plano, TX, the newly built 300 acre International Business Park houses the office of Amwins. Amwins is a workplace specializing in auto insurance. The office needed a solution to accommodate the return of their employees to the office. With hybrid working in mind, Amwins saught the use of employee lockers. By teaming up with Hollman, Amwins added workspace lockers in the center of their office.

        CHALLENGE

        Like other offices, Amwins wanted to provide easy-to-use lockers for their employees while also enhancing the look and feel of the office. The lockers needed to not only provide storage but also extenuate the unique and homey design of the office.

        With the help of Hollman, we were able to create a solution that achieved the goals set forth by the design team. Hollman assembled four-tier model D lockers with integrated seating – as seen in the photo above. The team chose laminate in Designer White to give the locker a clean and sleek finish. For security, the Keyless 1 lock in matte white was chosen to compliment the color of the locker and create a seamless look of the wall of lockers. The lockers also include ADA features to ensure capability for all.

              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.

                    Project Insights: Google 5 Cambridge Center Workspace Fitness Lockers

                    Google’s new workspace fitness lockers, provided by Hollman Lockers

                    INTRODUCTION

                    Google wanted to expand their Cambridge Center office space to accommodate for their exponential employee growth. Google provides many different types of workspaces to best suit their 1,500+ employees. With the endless possibilities of workspaces to choose from, Google has not forgotten about their employees’ health. Google provides an on-site gym for their employees to use. Google’s design team partnered with Hollman to provide the best quality workspace fitness lockers for their employees.

                    “Google opened its first office in Cambridge back in 2003, and fifteen years later, we’ve grown to over 1,500 employees, working on major projects like Search, Android, Cloud, YouTube, Google Play, Research, Ads and more,” says Google Cambridge site lead Brian Cusack. “This new space will provide room for future growth and further unites our commitment to the Cambridge community. We’re proud to call this city home and will continue to support its vibrant nonprofit and growing business community.”

                    CHALLENGE

                    The designers of Google’s Cambridge location integrated Google culture with Boston culture to create a one-of-a-kind office. According to NELSON, the goal was to create a campus that was a “truly Boston/Cambridge space, with specific nods to both.” For this reason, Google wanted to continue this theme in the locker rooms.

                    SOLUTION + BENEFITS

                    Hollman provided a combination of models for Google’s fitness lockers. Such as double-tier model b, triple-tier model c, and four-tier model d lockers. Some come with an integrated bench. The lockers are 14W x 18D x 80H. Underneath the integrated bench, there are open cubbies for additional storage. The cubbies are 14W x 18D x 14H.

                    Additionally, they chose a combination of smooth and textured laminates to finish the lockers. Wilsonart Fawn Cypress, a textured laminate, was custom-ordered for this project. The smooth laminate used to break up the Fawn Cypress is by Abet Laminati.

                    Finally, the team chose the Keyless360 in satin-nickel from Keyless Co. Most importantly, this lock doesn’t require any keys. Instead, the Keyless360 allows the user to select a combination made up of a number and a letter.

                    RESULTS

                    Together with Hollman Workspace Lockers‘ help, Google provided their employees with enough space to store their belongings while they hit the gym. Hollman produced over 100 lockers for this space. Additionally, the lockers fit the overall office’s theme by adding a pop of color to stand out.

                          INTRODUCTION

                          ‘Exclusive, Premier, World-Class Elegance’ are all used to describe Elkhorn Lodge in Beaver Creek Resort. In an upscale location, Elkhorn offers a spectacular backdrop for gatherings of 10-30 participants.’ The guests can enjoy skiing from a variety of villages between the resort. With all of the ski options the resort offers, Elkhorn needs to provide a storage solution while maintaining its exclusive and luxurious experience. For this reason, they partnered with Hollman Ski Lockers to develop a storage solution.

                          CHALLENGE

                          Like other companies, Elkhorn wants to provide germ-free, clean, and safe facilities for their customers and guests. Secondly, they want their lockers to be durable, water-resistant, and functional. Additionally, they need to be large enough to store skis, snowboards, and additional gear.

                          SOLUTION + BENEFIT

                          Elkhorn’s design team, Victor Mark Donaldson Architects, was aware of the challenges they needed to overcome. With Hollman lockers’ help, they were able to go above and beyond Elkhorn Lodge’s expectations and needs. Hollman provided single-tier, wood veneer lockers with a nanolam interior, solid surface shelving, and some benches. 

                          The single-tier model A lockers are 30W x 30D x 84L. Certainly large enough to store guest skis, snowboards, and gear. The lockers also have a water-resistant core. The MedEx core stops the veneer lockers from absorbing water. The nanolam interior is antimicrobial and keeps mold and bacteria from growing. 

                          The wood veneer flat benches are 20W x 60L and stained to match the lockers. Hollman also provided Elkhorn Lodge with amenities such as wood-framed mirrors and foldable towel rack wall mounts.

                          RESULTS

                          With the help of Hollman club, resort, and ski lockers, Elkhorn Lodge was able to keep their club experience comfortable, luxurious, and clean. Hollman’s team worked together to develop the ultimate storage solution for Elkhorn’s guests’ ski equipment and belongings.

                          In conclusion, Elkhorn Lodge’s ski lockers provide guests space to store their skis, snowboards, and gear without worrying about bacteria, mold, or damage. The nanolam interior is antimicrobial material that reduces the chance of staph infection by 99.79%. This high-tech laminate resists scratches and abrasions which may occur from ski equipment. The lockers also have a MedEx core to protect against the melted snow.

                          Above all, these lockers are durable, antimicrobial, and water-resistant. At the same time, maintaining the luxurious, exclusive experience, Elkhorn Lodge provides.
