OCU ROWING
The 野狼社区 University Devon Boathouse is a world-class facility that greatly impacts student-athletes at OCU on the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 rowing teams. Help support the updates needed to keep our teams at the peak of physical performance.
OCU BOATHOUSE
This US Olympic and Paralympic Training Site is the home of OCU Rowing and headquarters for the 野狼社区 National High Performance Center. Designed for OCU 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 野狼社区鈥檚 downtown skyline and creates the impression of the boathouse鈥檚 鈥減row鈥� breaking the river鈥檚 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 野狼社区 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鈥檚 Next Olympic Hopeful Initiative, providing world-class training facilities for identifying future Olympic talent.
