Columbia University has decided to upgrade and modernize its boathouse facility on the Harlem River adjacent to Baker Field sports complex. The University wants to continue to grow its neighborhood outreach initiatives. The existing Columbia Boathouse is a privately used facility that is surrounded by public spaces and a residential community. As part of the outreach initiative, the new boathouse proposal incorporates rowing education and training programs for inter-city youth in tandem with its varsity collegiate rowing program. The outreach program is “dedicated to the belief that the sport of rowing provides unique abilities to promote personal and community growth through teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness.” Classroom and training spaces are included as part of the facility in the proposal for the outreach program along with a multipurpose room for public events.
