Riverfront re-imagined

Phillips Academy Andover

With an ideal location along the Merrimack River, ARC and Phillips Academy saw an opportunity for adaptive reuse and transformation of a former truck repair facility into a Boathouse for their rowing program. ARC preserved the existing pre-fabricated structure and re-imagined it into a facility that captures the energy of the sport and celebrates the breath-taking views.

The former garage bays were perfect for boat-repair and the storage of 30 racing shells. A portion of the facility was renovated to provide team rooms, support spaces and a central gathering space where the school and rowing community could come together to celebrate the history and future of the Phillips Academy crew teams
