Project Description
The football equipment room at the University of Notre Dame is home to its players’ infamous 24-carat gold helmets, cleats and safety equipment. The 4,000 ft2 area is also highly trafficked and requires a durable and comfortable flooring solution. What better venue to showcase the custom capabilities of Regupol Aktiv?
Made from 100% post-consumer tire and post-industrial EPDM rubber, Regupol Aktiv surfaces allow for maximum comfort underfoot by absorbing the shock of training impact. It offers a superior solution for athletic training and weightlifting areas. In addition, it may be customized based on room dimensions, color and marketing preferences. Available in standard rolls, 3/8″ x 48″ but custom thicknesses are available as well.
Upon entering the equipment room, players, coaches and visitors encounter the familiar “Fighting Irish” mascot, a leprechaun with fists up, ready to fight. Regupol created the custom mascot and the team’s signature Celtic font spelling out, “Notre Dame Football” through its water- jet cutting technology.
