The existing structure, built in 1984, was expanded, re-clad and detailed to reflect the classical architectural elements from New England’s tradition of shingle-style boathouses along the river. Exterior renovations included removing the roof structure and replacing it with an improved structure that contains 12 new dormers and a new cupola. The completed boathouse interior serves the school’s boating traditions with a new entry and lobby, and the exterior reinforces the building’s relationship to older, period structures on Groton’s campus.
