Facility Design Hints- Recessed Slideboards

I stole this idea from my friend Brandon Marcello. When Brandon was at Stanford one of the features I loved in his facility were the slideboards that had been recessed into the floor. No more piling plates to keep aging slideboards from moving. We did this last year at MBSC but, Brandon took his a step further and not only recessed his but, was able to recess them deep enough so he could place flooring over them when not in use. If you look closely at the picture you’ll see the cover strip just to the right of the coaches feet. Pretty smart.

Facility Design Hints

Are you planning a new facility? Yesterday I got a question from a friend just getting ready to put the finishing touches on a new facility plan. The basic question was “Tell us what we might overlook?”

Here’s the list I sent him:

Ceiling fans like the Big Ass Fan ( really awesome)
Electrical outlets every 10-12 feet ( we have very few in our MBSC facility and often need them)
Rubber flooring wrapped up the wall 24″ in case you lean plates on the wall.
Mirrors 24″ off the floor ( again in case you lean plates)
Platforms built into the flooring, not raised.
Lots of masonry wall for throwing ( architects like to fur out and sheetrock.)
As much ceiling height as attainable
“Daylight” quality lighting. ( our architects at BU gave a a dark dingy space when we asked for bright)
Slideboards recessed into the floor ( see Brandon’s Stanford idea, w/ covers)

Also from an equipment standpoint make sure you get an MVP Shuttle and a Pilates Reformer. Two rehab musts that we often overlook.
