The OAR's new building to be located on Zone G of the Bricktown canal where the canal opens up into the river, will break ground this fall! The structure will be a $2.2 mill facility designed to store boats, house OAR offices, and have a few meeting rooms for training. It will be a 12,500 square foot facility. This will be a first class facility for rowing in OKC and will firmly establish rowing on the new Oklahoma River. There is currently a temporary storage facility there now that will be removed once constructions starts.

hmmmm...I hope there is more landscaping and that OKC tries to improve the area around this first-class facility. I don't care how nice the facility is, most people will just be driving by, so it won't look first class if they leave the surrounding area as is.
