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.

        Hollman’s Internship Program

        The Hollman Internship Program is a 10-week paid in-person internship offering college students unique hands-on work experience. 

        Hollman offers full-time internship positions in various fields, such as accounting, marketing, engineering, and sales. Intended for students to apply what they’ve learned in school to their assignments and projects. 

        The process for selecting interns is 4-steps. First is the application; interested candidates apply for the internship through the company’s website or other designated channels. Second, HR does a screening and reviews all the applications and resumes. Then they pick the most qualified applications for step 3, the interview. The interview can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via video conferencing. The interviews assess the candidate’s skills, knowledge, and cultural fit within the company. After the interviews, in step 4, the hiring team selects the most suitable candidates for the internship program.

        The program will provide the intern with:

        • Work Experience 
        • Networking opportunities 
        • Skill Development
        • Industry Insight 
        • Overview of different departments within the company
        • Professional Development 

        Interns are assigned to their specific departments in the company depending on their field of study. They will have a mentor(s) who will provide guidance, support, and feedback throughout the program. Each department will have different tasks and projects that a manager will assign to the interns and must be completed by a specific deadline. Interns will have meetings with various departments throughout the first few weeks of the internship program to better understand what everyone is responsible for and how everyone works together in the company.

        As far as within your specific department, the intern will:

        • Assist with projects
        • Conduct research
        • Attend meetings
        • Job shadow
        • Complete individual tasks/projects
        • Learn

        By the end of the internship program, we guarantee that the interns will have learned new skills, worked on real company projects, learned what it takes to succeed on a team, and learned more about our company and our lockers. 

        At Hollman, we believe in giving young students opportunities to improve their work skills and gain valuable experience. Being the industry leader in locker design and solutions, it is important to us to share knowledge with the young minds of the future and help them make their mark.

              [Press Release] The Family Place Announces Brooke Shields As Featured Speaker for the 27th Annual Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon

              Lindsay Jacaman and Holly Krug to serve as chairs of September 29 fundraiser, with honorary chairs Stephanie and Travis Hollman

              DALLAS, TEXAS (June 1, 2023) –The Family Place – Texas’ largest family violence service agency now in its 45th year – announces actress, model and author Brooke Shields as the featured speaker for the 2023 Trailblazer Awards Luncheon on Friday, September 29, at the Hilton Anatole.

              In addition to Shields as keynote speaker, event leadership includes Lindsay Jacaman and Holly Krug as luncheon co-chairs, and Stephanie and Travis Hollman as honorary chairs.

              Jacaman, a global client director for LinkedIn, and Krug, a global real estate advisor at Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International, are passionate supporters of Dallas’ non-profit community, including The Family Place, where they both serve as members of its board of directors.

              Dedicated to philanthropy and entrepreneurship, honorary chairs Stephanie and Travis Hollman have devoted their lives to making a positive impact on others. Stephanie is the founder and chief giving officer of the Hollman Family Foundation, which has supported numerous organizations since its inception in 2020, including providing over 400 nights of shelter for women at The Family Place. Additionally, as CEO of Hollman, Inc., Travis has always put purpose over profit by being a source for greater good for the local community. Stephanie and Travis, who have been married more than 15 years and have two sons, are both actively involved with many Dallas charities. 

              “We are honored to have such a strong leadership team at the helm of this year’s Texas Trailblazer Awards luncheon. Through the collective efforts of our co-chairs and honorary chairs, we know we will raise important funds to serve women, men and children in need of safety,” remarked Mimi Sterling, CEO of The Family Place. “Additionally, we hope attendees will be inspired by our featured speaker Brooke Shields as she shares her unique story and her personal resilience that led her to become the role model she is today. Please join us for what promises to be an amazing day.” 

              Shields’ legendary career began early in her childhood, as she was the youngest fashion model ever to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine at 14 years old. Her venture into film and television garnered her a Golden Globe nomination and five People’s Choice Awards. In addition to continued success on screen, she has since become a best-selling author and created an apparel and accessories line called Brooke Shields Timeless. 

              In 2021, Shields founded “Beginning is Now,” a growing global community of women of all ages finding strength, wisdom, optimism, humor, and so much more in each other, all while learning to live their fullest lives — on their own terms, followed by the launch of her own podcast in 2022 with iHeart. “Now What? with Brooke Shields” dives deep into the world of redos, resets, and forward fails: from career pivots and personal missteps to moving through grief (or just plain moving on). In April 2023, Hulu released the documentary “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” which explores Shields’ journey from a sexualized young girl to a Princeton graduate, mother, and advocate who has embraced her identity and voice. In her personal time, Shields is an advocate for women and the arts and serves on the board of WIN, an organization dedicated to providing housing, services and programs to homeless women and children in New York City. She is the happily married mother of two beautiful daughters. 

              The Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon is the largest fundraising event for The Family Place. Proceeds from the luncheon allow The Family Place to continue empowering survivors of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling, and skills that create independence, while building community engagement and helping families progress from fear to safety. 

              THE FAMILY PLACE For 45 years, The Family Place has served the North Texas community by bringing brighter futures to survivors of family violence. The Family Place is the largest provider of family violence services in Texas, serving nearly 20,000 people in 2022. Programs include a 24-hour hotline, three emergency shelters, including the state’s only shelter for men and their children, a transitional housing program with 25 apartments, three counseling centers, two medical clinics, a dental clinic, Dignity at Work job readiness program, Be Project sexual assault and teen dating violence prevention education for schools, Faith and Liberty’s Place court-ordered supervised visitation, Battering Intervention and Prevention Program court-ordered counseling for abusers, and legal services. All survivor services are free and provided in Spanish and English. For more information on The Family Place, call 214-559-2170 or visit familyplace.org.
