Comments on: ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ to build new rowing boathouse on the Androscoggin River /news/2014/10/30/rowing-boathouse-androscoggin/ Tue, 18 Sep 2018 21:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Larry Carbonneau /news/2014/10/30/rowing-boathouse-androscoggin/#comment-83112 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 17:16:32 +0000 /news/?p=81946#comment-83112 I would like to echo the comments above and point out just how much is changed. In 1988 the Gray Cage was a dirt floor, but it did have electricity.

I think it used to be that the teams might have specialized spaces for storage etc., but the main training off track, river, field would be in a combined space.

With this change the rowers will be away from campus for much longer than they can be now. It is great that it is being financed through persons interested in supporting the program. I hope it serves them well.

Since we built the “rustic facility” in 1988, to accommodate some passionate students and the parents who backed them, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Rowers have worked incredibly hard to achieve excellence and to make ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ proud. A world class team deserves world class facilities! This will be a grand addition to the neighborhood, and an exciting facility to grace the shores of the Androscoggin River!

My 50th is next year, so I hope to see the beginnings of the project when I visit.
