UCO Boathouse Prow Taking Shape

Looking like the bow of a ship under construction, the UCO Boathouse prow is taking shape between the Devon Boathouse and the OU Boathouse site. Construction of the prow will prepare the site for future development of the boathouse structure. From above, it will appear as though the three buildings are racing - a little friendly competition among some of the great universities of our state!

Back to the Devon Boathouse

More great progress has been made this week on the Devon Boathouse.

The rowing tank foundation is in place. The design and the engine will create one of the world's fastest sculling tanks and world's first dynamic tank (the water moves along with the rowers and the rowing stations). This will be used by both Olympic rowers and first time rowers - and will be a great attraction for tours and special events at the building. The area just beyond the tank is the event facilities, featuring a panoramic view of the river.



The sidewalks are now in place around the Devon Boathouse inlet.
