Athletic Business Exclusive: Hollman’s West Virginia University Locker Room Becoming the Hub of Student-Athlete Life

When West Virginia University began thinking about upgrading its football operations center, the team wasn’t interested in moving the facility away from Milan Puskar Stadium, where the Mountaineers practice and play games. The team liked the existing adjacency to the stadium and as such had to envision a renovation that would share some spaces with fans on game day. What organically emerged from that choice was a splashy Hall of Traditions entry point in the end zone — replete with bold branding, memorabilia and a large video board.

WHAT’S TRENDING: TEAM ROOMS An Exclusive Q&A with Travis Hollman

What are the common needs for athletics departments when it comes to team rooms?
How is this different from a locker room? Do some schools combine the two? Yes, the trend is to combine the team room and locker room into one atmosphere. The locker room is an area where the players typically spend most of their time. It’s great to combine the two rooms so that the players can utilize the space to hang out, play pool or study. A trend we have seen for the basketball locker rooms is to incorporate an area to study within the locker itself. A good example of this is Texas A&M basketball. For those student-athletes part of the space created was an integrated student-athlete desk to provide room for their computers and books as well as their basketball uniform, shoes and shower needs.
