This US Olympic and Paralympic Training Site is the home of ذكذكتسئµ Rowing and headquarters for the ذكذكتسئµ National High Performance Center. Designed for ذكذكتسئµ by Rand Elliott, Elliott & Associates Architects, the facility is one in a series of iconic boathouses in the Boathouse District at the Oklahoma River. Its dramatic architecture creates a striking image against the backdrop of ذكذكتسئµâ€™s downtown skyline and creates the impression of the boathouse’s “prow†breaking the river’s edge.
Soaring spaces created by glass and polycarbonate walls are flooded with natural light and include a two-story boat bay and the Ann Lacy Event Center. Expansive windows offer unparalleled views of the Oklahoma River and a second story balcony overlooks the boat bay ramps and docks. Blue LED lights accent the exterior of the boathouse at night, highlighting the ties to OCU University.
The venue also has gained popularity as a wedding destination and hosted significant events like American Idol and national Google initiatives. It serves as the center for the US Olympic Committee’s Next Olympic Hopeful Initiative, providing world-class training facilities for identifying future Olympic talent.
