The Georgia Tech football program has unveiled a brand new $4.5 million renovation of the Yellow Jackets locker room. On Tuesday, July 24, players got a fist-look at their new home along with fans after video and photos surfaced on social media. Every locker now has power sources and backlighting, there is a hydration station, a hydrotherapy area with hot and cold tubs, and a number of new audio-visual systems.
“For Todd, this is really one of the projects that he wanted to get started on immediately,” said associate athletics director for facilities, operations and events Derek Grice in a statement. “He knew it would make a tremendous impact for our football program and student-athletes.”
From the Yellow Jackets release:
With the final touches being put on Georgia Tech’s spiffy $4.5 million football locker room renovation, Ron Rice is one of so many Tech alumni working on the project that it’s seemed at times like Yellow Jackets building a nest.
As the general manager of Hunter Douglas Architectural, which has supplied walls and a fancy hexagonal ceiling, the former Yellow Jackets kicker (1980-83) marvels over the 8,100-square-foot space under the north stands in Bobby Dodd Stadium. The newly renovated locker room was unveiled to Tech’s football team on Tuesday morning.
Photos and videos of the new Georgia Tech locker room can be seen below.
