Designed by OLSON LEWIS + Architects and built by C.E. Floyd, the new George and Evanthea Demoulas Family Boathouse is a state-of-the-art facility supporting the Brooks School crew program's growth and securing its legacy for the next century. This modern boathouse unites varsity and junior varsity crews under one roof, featuring a versatile program room for team meetings and events, ample storage for the current fleet, a spacious covered porch for race viewing and gatherings, and a multifunctional space for school events.
In response to environmental concerns, the project implements sustainable practices to protect Lake Cochichewick, a public drinking water supply. Key features include advanced rainwater management and landscaping, remote restrooms positioned away from the water, and water bottle filling stations that drain to the landscape.
Additionally, the boathouse includes indoor team rooms for secure gear storage, a dedicated shop bay for boat repair and tool storage, coach facilities, state-of-the-art technology for film review and livestreaming, and space for ergs and weights. The boathouse proudly showcases the program's legacy and offers dedicated storage for the sailing program, with room for future expansion to meet evolving training needs. This boathouse exemplifies the Brooks School's commitment to athletic excellence, student development, and environmental sustainability.
