University of Pennsylvania Boathouse

WINNER

Target Building Construction, Inc.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Originally built in 1858, the University of Pennsylvania Boathouse was transformed into a modern rowing facility with the help of Target Building Construction, Inc. and their project team. Working around the significant challenges of constant vehicular, pedestrian, and athletic activity on Kelly Drive, the team successfully renovated and expanded the existing building. The 16,200-square-foot space is now home to the University’s rowing teams and includes boat storage, a workshop, men's and women's locker rooms, ERG training, and an extraordinary social space for events.
