        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 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.

                    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.

We want to thank so many people that played a role in helping this dream become reality. A huge thank you to our donors that stepped up in a big way to make sure this renovation could take place.

                          “We’re extremely excited and very proud of it. We can’t wait to show the space off to not only our donors that helped create it but also recruits and their parents. It’s a big-time locker room and we are proud to call it home to Georgia Tech women’s basketball.”
