The Class of 1914 Boathouse is located on the Raritan River, which separates the campuses of Cook, Douglass, and Rutgers College in New Brunswick from those of Livingston and Busch in Piscataway. It's just a short walk down the hill to get to the boathouse from Cook and Douglass, and is easily accessible from all the other campuses.

The boathouse was built in 1950 and is a gift of the Class of 1914. An addition was added in 1961 and today is it houses over 20 boats. In 2010, the boathouse was extensively renovated to include new locker rooms and other facilities. The boathouse houses three bays, one for each the heavyweight men, open weight women,  and lightweight men programs. Rutgers has the top-of-the-line equipment, with brand new boats and oars coming in every year. In addition to eights and fours, we utilize small boats for training, including singles, doubles, and pairs.

The Raritan River provides an unlimited number of miles of water which are used almost exclusively by Rutgers Crew. The tree-lined shores are both beautiful and provide excellent wind protection for crew practices. Even on the windiest days, the Raritan is amongst the best courses in the country to row. Furthermore, due to milder winters than our northern friends, Rutgers crews can stay on the water longer in the fall and get back on earlier in the spring.

For land workouts, Rutgers crew has a workout facility on Livingston Campus. We have 50 Concept II rowing ergometers which we use for building cardiovascular endurance and fitness. The facility also includes free weights and stationary bikes for strength and cross training. Currently in renovation. the crew facilty has a 16-person indoor rowing tank which allows rowers to maintain their feel for the water during the winter training portion of the year. With renovations planned for 2013, we hope to have the rowing tank operating again in the near future.
