Men’s Tennis
Locker Room
WESTERN MICHIGAN BRONCOS
We revitalized the Western Michigan Men’s Tennis Locker Room with a fresh aesthetic that reflects the team’s dynamic energy and competitive spirit. The space balances simplicity and strength — delivering a clean, modern design that inspires pride while aligning with WMU’s broader athletic brand.
Outdated and under-branded, the existing locker room lacked connection to the Broncos identity. Facilities initiated the renovation as part of WMU’s multi-year effort to elevate every athletic environment. With tight timelines, limited footprint, and a defined budget, the goal was clear — create meaningful visual impact through smart, strategic design.
Our focus was on athlete pride and cohesion. We kept the aesthetic simple but intentional, using color and composition to enhance rather than overpower the space. Consistent design systems — including custom textures and an accolade wall format used in other WMU facilities — helped unify the locker room within the larger brand family.
The updated space features a custom woodgrain texture, macro tennis photography, and an accolade wall honoring the program’s legacy. Every element was designed to feel elevated and timeless, while value engineering ensured maximum impact within a modest investment.
The transformation gives student-athletes a renewed sense of pride and ownership. What was once a plain space is now an environment that reflects the program’s identity — a confident, cohesive extension of the Western Michigan Athletics brand.
