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: 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.

              Georgia Tech University’s women’s basketball unveiled the completed renovation of its locker room and team space on Wednesday, transforming the area into a state-of-the-art space. The locker room was revealed to the student-athletes following the conclusion of the team’s first official practice of the 2020-21 season.

It’s a beautiful space with everything a student-athlete needs to be successful and be excited about coming to the gym every day. 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.”

                    Project Insights: West Virginia University Football Locker Room

                    With the help of Hollman Athletic Lockers, “the guys love the lockers”

                    “Their lockers are absolutely huge,” Patrick Johnston, director of football operations, added.
                    “They are 42 inches wide with tons of storage space.”

                    Earlier this month the team at West Virginia University unveiled their new facility at Mountaineer Field. This locker room renovation was all a part of WVU’s Climbing Higher campaign and transformed their previous 5,625 square feet space to 11,125 square feet.

                    “The result is a spacious place and lavish lockers that feature wireless cell phone chargers, a lockable compartment with an internal charging port, a stainless steel shoe and glove display drawer, a stainless steel helmet shelf, a backlit individual upper nameplate that includes a picture of the player and a listing of his jersey number, position and hometown, a clothing rod for game day apparel, a hook for the uniform and additional storage in an upper cabinet and a lower drawer.”

                    “The guys love the lockers,” said head coach, Neal Brown. “They’re spacious. They’ve got their own chargers, their own plugs, their hometown and their picture up above them and the music and video boards throughout are impressive.” (247sports.com)

                    “What’s even more impressive is the fact that enough room was carved out for former Mountaineer players now playing in the NFL who regularly return to campus during the offseason to work out with strength and conditioning coach Mike Joseph.” (wvusports.com)

                    A few West Virgina football alumni, Stedman Bailey Sr, former WVU wide receiver, and Daryl Worley, former WVU and current Dallas Cowboys cornerback, took notice of the locker room renovation:

                          Project Insights: The University of Alabama Football Locker Room

                          These lockers are built for making a lasting impression and are durable enough for the celebrations to come thanks to Hollman Athletic Lockers

                          Alabama wanted a locker that highlighted their Bama pride while keeping the wellness of their athletes first. Hollman chose to incorporate solid-surface material throughout the locker design for a modern look while preventing the growth of bacteria and mold. Also, with specially engineered forced air-drying technology integrated throughout the locker, Alabama is able to increase equipment and shoe drying time.

                          The players recovery in between practice and post-game played an important role on the decision to incorporate an oversized leather recliner with a customized embroidered “A” logo next to an easy to access wireless charger and stainless-steel cup holder.

                          To maximize space and keep the locker functional, Hollman added a stainless-steel rollup door for concealed storage. Additional add-ins, like the interchangeable magnetic custom player’s graphic with illuminated LED lights, adds a personalized touch.  There’s no question; these lockers are built for making a lasting impression and are durable enough for the celebrations to come.

                          In his fourth season as an athletic director, he is providing the fans and student-athletes with a much more appealing Bryant-Denny Stadium for home games. When it comes to the players, the renovations started with the locker room, part of a $16 million upgrade to the Mal Moore Center.
