Harrogate Town Football Club Changing Facilities

Bowman Riley continued its partnership with Harrogate Town Football Club, providing interior design services for the players’ changing facilities.

Recognising the importance of investing in its facilities, the Club identified the outdated, run-down changing rooms as no longer reflecting the club’s ambitions and a barrier to attracting new talent.

We transformed the space into a dynamic, inspiring environment. The lack of natural light was a challenge, so we embraced the darkness to create a mood and atmosphere to energise the space. We used vibrant yellow club colours and darker tones to motivate players while offering moments of introspection.

Given football’s physical nature, the changing rooms are exposed to high levels of dirt and sweat, so we used durable, easy-to-clean finishes throughout. The flooring was selected to withstand the demands of studs and football boots. Smart storage under each seat allows players to store and charge their phones.

Our in-house graphic designer incorporated the club’s logo and motivational graphics, such as “Proud to be Town.” The space also serves as a visually engaging backdrop for social media content, ensuring it stands out during interviews and promotions.

Mindful of the players’ wellbeing, ergonomics and comfort were paramount to ensure the players could rest and recover during critical moments of the game.

The new players’ changing rooms have elevates the players’ experience, boosting morale and motivation and supports the recruitment of top talent.
