UCD Men’s and Ladies Boat Clubs are proud to officially unveil the newly renovated erg room in the UCD Sports Centre. We firmly believe that training is best done together, and after many years of collaboration with UCD Sport, we are delighted to have worked in partnership to create a high-quality space that enables our athletes to perform at their very best.Many of our alumni will remember erging on balconies, in hallways, or in shared gym spaces. Today, we are proud to finally have a dedicated home for one of the most important aspects of our training.Featuring new full-height mirrors, improved ventilation with large air circulation fans, and walls lined with historic moments from the club’s past, the room has quickly become an environment that athletes are excited to train in.Importantly, this space is not just for our competitive squads. The renovation means that more people across UCD can experience indoor rowing, from staff classes to student participation programmes. The response to this year’s Learn to Erg classes has been excellent, with both staff and students now learning and training in the room. It is encouraging to see the sport growing beyond the club itself.As we settle into this new space, we are inviting alumni to contribute pennants and memorabilia from their time at UCD so that we can showcase and celebrate the many triumphs across the club’s long history. If you have items you would like displayed, please get in touch.A sincere thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this possible and also Wall Art for the great work putting it all together. We hope this marks the beginning of many more historic achievements for UCD Rowing.#HonCollege & #AdAstra
