The Long Road to a Championship Starts with Modular Locker Rooms
In the eat, or be eaten, world of collegiate sports, teams jostle for any advantage over their competition. Analytics, computer software that uses advanced statistics to guide coaching decisions, have lately been the go-to for teams looking for championships. Yet as recruiters and coaches will surely tell you, a team’s facilities still seem deterministic for a team bent on success: a good installation attracts recruits and gives current players a sense of who they are… and what they can achieve.
It was with this in mind that Alvin Community College installed a glittering new modular locker room beside their softball fields. The elegant rows of lockers are silent sentinels awaiting the clamor and energy of a new season that could have a no more promising start. For this project, the Alvin Community College Dolphins partnered with Aries Buildings, a specialist in modular locker rooms, modular education buildings, and modular classrooms.
The Dolphins needed a comfortable softball locker room with decks, ADA ramps, canopies, showers, security, low volt & high volt wiring, MEP connections with coaches’ offices, and plenty of storage for ACC’s softball equipment. The college even requested an umpire locker room that is separate from the main locker room and will accommodate the umpires during long double header softball games!… Aries’ turnkey operation demonstrated the prowess of the modular building industry specializing in modular locker rooms, modular education buildings, and modular classrooms... and made the Dolphins’ dream locker room a reality.
The Dolphin’s benefited from the industry’s advantages – fast construction with minimal end-site disruption – coupled with flexibility. In less than 4 months, well within the off-season timeslot, Aries had installed a 2000 square foot building that met the Dolphins’ requirements. Before the season began, Aries had managed to evacuate an antiquated septic tank to make way for a city sewer tie-in. They also had connected electric wiring and water systems for the drinking fountain and showers. Lastly, they had installed air conditioning and an elegant dark wood desk and cabinet for the coaches’ offices.
There were even further considerations. Alvin College itself is a sparse 40 minutes west of the infamous city of Galveston, known for the hurricane that remains the largest natural disaster in United States history. Therefore, Aries also installed permanent stem-wall foundations to meet coastal region windstorm specifications, a capability Aries had picked up during prior work with modular locker rooms, modular education buildings, and modular classrooms.
Ultimately, when the player’s file in for the 2019-2020 season, they will enter a spacious, comfortable locker room, a true center of energy for their run at the Championship. The room around them was built with efficiency, excellence, sturdiness, and style. With luck, it will be a constant reminder of all that they can be.
