The women’s basketball locker room at Western Michigan University sorely needed a refresh. Thanks to generous donations, funding was secured to completely reimagine the women’s locker room. The redesigned space expanded by nearly 50%, adding a new team lounge area and nutrition station. The entrance to the space has a custom wood feature wall and key card access. The team collaborated with a local mill worker to craft state-of-the-art lockers with personalized digital signage, upgraded finishes, and enhanced lighting. The custom glass doors proudly feature each player’s jersey, and the video wall system incorporates individual screens above each locker, following the lockers’ curved layout. A striking radial ceiling feature with integrated audio/video technology unifies the space. An upgraded HVAC system, new furniture, and custom graphics provide the Broncos with one of the finest team locker rooms in the Mid-American Conference. The wall graphics throughout the space emphasize themes of excellence, confidence, integrity, and belonging. This transformation offers the university’s athletics department a powerful tool to attract top student-athletes.
