Project Insights: The Green Bay Packers Lambeau Field Locker Room

The Green Bay Packers unveil Lambeau Field’s updated locker room with lockers by Hollman

Hollman is proud to highlight the newly completed Green Bay Packers locker room, a next-generation space that celebrates legacy, fosters unity, and meets the performance needs of elite athletes.

This installation was more than just a locker room upgrade. It was an opportunity to reinforce tradition, enhance day-to-day functionality, and create a centerpiece for both team and community pride.

The Packers envisioned a space as iconic and hardworking as the franchise itself — one that honored their storied tradition while offering the function and flexibility required by today’s NFL standards.

A key design priority was developing a dual-purpose locker that seamlessly serves both daily practice and game day needs. The challenge was to blend functionality with presentation, ensuring each locker offered the durability and organization required for everyday use while also delivering a polished, high-impact look suitable for game day and facility tours.

Equally important to the functionality of the space was ensuring that the locker room’s aesthetic aligned with the architectural language of the larger facility. Drawing direct inspiration from the iconic chrome Lombardi Trophy, the design incorporates subtle chrome accents that echo this central symbol of pride. From custom nameplates to carefully selected veneers, every detail was curated to create a tradition-rich environment that feels intentional and unified. By blending modern man-made materials with high-end natural finishes, the space strikes a balance between honoring the Packers’ deep-rooted legacy and celebrating their forward-looking vision for excellence.

The room’s radiused layout presented a unique design challenge, demanding exacting precision to ensure each locker aligned seamlessly along the curved architecture. This meticulous planning paid off in a space that feels both expansive and intentional. The wide, open floor plan was purposefully designed to encourage gathering, connection, and team camaraderie, creating an environment where players naturally come together. It’s a space that supports not just performance, but also the culture and unity that define the Green Bay Packers.

Additional Project Features:

  • 100 Player lockers and 123 staff lockers
  • White solid surface accents and powder-coated black metal framing
  • Shoulder pad storage
  • Dedicated boot drying system
  • Dedicated glove organization
  • Fully integrated LED lighting
