Conibear Shellhouse

Built in 1949 and renovated in 2005, the Conibear Shellhouse is home to the University of Washington’s rowing program as well as the Windermere Dining Hall.

“Conibear Shellhouse can be described as the heartbeat of athletic life as it serves as a hub for all of Husky student-athletes. The building houses the rowing coaches’ offices, the student-athlete dining hall, five shell bays, and state-of-the-art training facilities for the men’s and women’s crews.”

The Coniber Shellhouse also features two different study halls and a student lounge on its main floor.

The lower level is where the rowing team facilities are located. They can be accessed using the Crew entrance or descending a staircase from the main level.

Check out this drone tour for a better view of the rowing facilities, especially the team rooms, beginning by entering the building through the crew entrance:

Windermere Dining Hall

The student-athlete dining hall is located on the main floor of the Conibear Shellhouse and has a capacity of 250 students. The wide open space features 18 feet tall, floor to ceiling windows and hanging from above is the famous Husky Clipper, the boat used by the UW 8-man crew to win a Gold Medal at the 1936 Olympics.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen and employing a full-time nutritionist, Windermere Dining Hall facilitates optimal eating choices for student-athletes in all phases of their training.

Did you know that some of the most innovative building designs take inspiration from nature? Biotechnology architecture is a prime example of this, where bioengineered materials are used to create sustainable structures that are both functional and visually stunning. Imagine using live materials that can grow, produce energy, and self-heal to create buildings that are in harmony with nature!

admittedly stealing the "double drabble" structure. thanks @kcsplace!!

Noticed Don's watched him for months. He's the person everyone watches, everyone knows. Not because that's his goal. He is simply going so many places, aiming for so many ends that he can't help but live bigger and broader than the ordinary people he's around. Anyone who might be in the way should get ready for a collision - Bobby Moch is coming through. For all that Bobby is seen, Don is unseen. He knows the coaches notice him, think about how he matters, tell him to keep up what he's doing. It's enough for him. So he keeps his voice low and stroke steady. He's a part of the shellhouse camaraderie, but merges into the middle of things, never on the edge or in the center. Those are the places that get you noticed. Don's content like this. But the latest chalkboard update of shell assignments places a new name for who he's facing. Someone different will settle across from him, and Don feels a twist of nerves at the shift, like opening night on the stage. He offers a hand, a self-deprecating smile at the formality, and says his name. Bobby's grin is wide, satisfied. "Yeah, I know you."

Alrighty folks. I present to you:

Go Ahead and Throw Your Stones

Fandom: The Boys in the Boat (2023)

Characters: Bobby Moch, Don Hume, Joe Rantz, Shorty Hunt, Jim McMillin, Johnny White, Gordy Adam, Chuck Day, Roger Morris, Al Ulbrickson

The Varsity rowers have been annoyed with the JV rowers for a while. When three of them catch Bobby alone, they decide to take their anger out on him.

Prepare for some Bobby WHUMP!! I will warn that there’s violence. It’s not graphic, but it is there.

Bobby walked out of the shellhouse, pulling his jacket closer to him. He had decided to take a walk after practice. The January weather had been cold, but the last few days had been a little warmer than it had been. Practice had been a bit rough that day, as Ulbrickson had been trying to get the varsity boat prepared for the upcoming races, hoping to get them to Olympic qualifiers. They had been racing the JV boat as practice, but the JV continued to beat the varsity. As satisfying as it was for Bobby and the boys to beat the varsity boat, it of course ended with Ulbrickson giving them a stern talk; and earning the JV rowers glares from the varsity rowers. Bobby liked the varsity rowers well enough, but the more often his boys beat them, the more tense things got between the varsity boat and the JV boat. More often than not, comments were made in the locker room after practices, which Roger claimed rooted from jealousy. Bobby snorted. It wasn’t their fault they were the better rowers, in his own humble opinion. The varsity boat was definitely good, no doubt about it. But he had to agree there was something different about the boys he coxed. He thought the varsity boat just needed to grow a pair and let it go; a thought he of course had no problem voicing to them. It probably wasn’t the smartest idea, but after the comments they had made towards his boys, he had had enough of their attitudes.

As he walked near the water, he stopped to catch his breath. He leaned against a tree as a coughing fit started- that darn cold air, he thought. He usually stayed inside as much as possible when it was cold, but he felt like he needed the air today- despite what it did to his asthmatic lungs. When the coughing fit finally ended, he sat down underneath the tree. He stood up a minute later as he heard footsteps approaching, figuring Joe and Roger had come to let him know dinner was almost ready. Great, he thought as he turned around to find that it was not Joe and Roger. Instead, he saw Billy, George, and Ralph approaching him- the stroke and seats 3 and 4 of the varsity boat. Bobby forced a smile and waved.

TBITB Drabbles 9/30

Prompt: Historic

~*~*~

The smell of cedar is fresh in his mind. He thinks back to that first day he stepped into Pocock’s workroom, the days where his life changed forever.

Joe smiles up at their boat memorialized in the shellhouse, the legacy he and his boys left behind. He misses those that have passed, he’s thankful for the few that remain.

He didn’t have grandiose dreams of glory, but they came all the same. He’s made his mark on history, his name will never be forgotten. But more than that, his boys will always live on and this comforts Joe's agIng soul.

While I agree with the disappointment, Clooney was intent on getting the look of Seattle in the 1930s, and that would be all but impossible filming in the Puget Sound area today. I was impressed with the movie's scenes from the "Montlake Cut" which evoked the atmosphere even though they were filmed in the UK. And the film really got the look of the old shellhouse. As for the scenes set on the UW campus, well a more representative UK campus could probably have been selected. All of that said, I was "blown away" by "The Boys in the Boat," as were all I know who have seen it, including my sister and her husband who are WSU loyalists. My grand-nephew ( just a couple of points shy of a 1400 SAT score and "straight A" student) who just graduated from a Silicon Valley high school was wavering between one of the UC schools and UW. He selected UW shortly after seeing the film!

Love the photo selection. A bit before my time, but truly evocative of Seattle in the old days. Wish my parents were alive as they would have really enjoyed seeing photos of the city as they remembered it from childhood.

Forever betrayed that George Clooney didn't spend his massive budget on filming in Washington state so here's some old Seattle photos from the 30s/very early 40s to make me feel better (individual photos + explanations under the cut!)

Biotechnology architecture is a revolutionary approach that uses bioengineered materials to create structures that are in harmony with nature. By incorporating biotech materials into building design, architects and bioscientists can create structures that grow, produce energy, and self-heal, reducing the environmental impact of construction activities. The Shell House by K&B Partners is an exceptional example of how biotech materials can be used to create a visually stunning and environmentally responsible building. The bio-inspired shell provides natural insulation and ventilation, reducing the building's energy consumption and enhancing its durability. These features promote the growth of flora and fauna around the structure, fostering biodiversity. #biotechnologyarchitecture #sustainability #design #architecture #innovation #engineering #environmentallyfriendly #shellhouse #K&Bpartners #sustainabilitychallenge #future #futuretech #insulation #insulated #inspirational #amazing #indigenous #shelter #archilover #architexture #organicarchitecture #organicarchitect — view on Instagram https://scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/346290318_1301056227473377_191006584751113834_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=YrCsQU661_wAX8UcIkh&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AfADPfrZYhUEmw3OIbvcVdnYguI198P_VaYwx3q4iirbIg&oe=6464A868

A couple of the boys get the idea to go and do a certain activity together and so they’re like “we should totally go do this!!!” And everyone is like “yesss!!” Bobby is kind of sad and says he can’t go, but when they offer to reschedule it for a different day he gives them a (fake) smile insisting that they go do it without him anyway.

Of course none of them realized that the reason he couldn’t do said activity was because of his health history, like maybe they were planning like an all day hike through the mountains or something like he can do the shorter, less intensive hikes with them but for this activity he literally can’t physically keep up. The oarsmen don’t know that though because Bobby’s never let his health or size stop him before, like they’ve never seen how bad it can get and don’t quite understand how fragile he can be sometimes with how rarely he lets it slow him down.

Queue someone pointing this out to them, maybe one of the coaches or Pocock or even Joyce, and a lot of hurt/comfort/fluff follows.

The Shell House designed by Emil Fahrenkamp in 1929 was commissioned by the oil company Shell and functioned as its headquarters until the beginning of WWII.
