Lakeway Christian Academy partners with List Industries to provide locker
solutions to its new athletic facilities
While most of the country shut down during the spring because of
COVID-19, the experts at List Industries were hard at work, solving the
locker needs of high school athletic departments. Regardless of the
situation, they took no shortcuts during the process.
Lakeway Christian Academy, in Morristown, Tenn., utilized the
postponement of school in the spring to install new lockers for eight
locker rooms as part of the Academy's new High School/Middle
School campus. They required
lockers for the boys' football &
basketball programs, the girls'
basketball & volleyball programs,
and for Physical Education, for both
male and female athletes.
For List Industries, the
product selection and installation
at Lakeway was the same,
meticulous, customized approach
that it takes for all of its customers.
This process was held to the
company's highest standards
because of the situation involving
the school closure. The List
Industries representative and its
dealer-School and Office Supply,
Inc., with Rob Johnson handling the project from initial customer
consultation through installation-recommended the right products
to meet Lakeway's specific needs, and with custom solutions to
prevent moisture build-up in locker areas.
The entire install consisted of six different styles of lockers, including
almost 700 Steel lockers and over 175 phenolic lockers. Given how
needs have changed due to the Coronavirus, List Industries designed a
special height footlocker for the football lockers, placing the base of the
lockers on concrete bases to ensure proper cleaning and sanitizing.

" List Industries outfitted our basketball locker rooms and football
locker rooms with their Phenolic Lockers; as well as metal lockers
for our academic wings and gym locker rooms., " said Scott Bradley,
Development Director at Charter Foods, Inc., who is in charge of the
construction of this new Middle/High School Campus. " We originally
were looking at hardwood lockers for the sports locker rooms, but
arrived at the Phenolic locker due to their inherent moisture resistance,
as well as more durable finish vs.
a hardwood. Our locker rooms
have turned out great. "
During the planning stages of
the new athletics facilities, Steve
Denny, Head of School and
Acting Athletic Director, placed
a high priority on making the
perfect locker room environment.
" Having served in the athletic
industry for almost 20 years at
private Christian schools, I am
a firm believer that the athletic
department-coaches and
athletes-will perform based
on the standard of expectation
and demonstration, " Denny said.
" Having wonderful facilities is just one component of that. While we
normally think about the field or the gym when referencing facilities, the
locker rooms play an important role. Athletes spend more time at school
than we often realize and consequently, we want our facilities to feel like
a home away from home. "
And Lakeway found the perfect partner to accomplish that by working
with List Industries. " While navigating through this challenging time of
the pandemic, List Industries provided a quality product that we feel
should stand the test of time, " said Bradley.
