The Celtics new practice home, including the team’s 17 NBA championship banners, will be highly visible from the Massachusetts Turnpike with a forty foot glass wall enclosing the practice courts that face the approximately 130,000 daily commuters. The practice facility will encompass approximately 70,000 square feet.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Boston Celtics to Boston Landing,” Jim Halliday, Managing Director for NB Development Group LLC. “Adding another iconic brand like the Boston Celtics to Boston Landing at Allston-Brighton along the Mass Pike further advances the concept of Boston Landing serving as the gateway into the City of Boston from the west, while at the same time adding to the culture of health, wellness, and movement with this district.”
Features of the comprehensive practice facility will include:
Two state-of-the-art parquet floor basketball courts where the team will practice
Leading edge audio-visual technology throughout the facility
Expanded strength and conditioning, training, and recovery facilities
Best-in-class locker rooms and players’ lounge
Physical therapy areas including hydrotherapy pools
Sports science and nutrition facilities
Expanded media work room, press conference and broadcast facilities
A flexible hospitality area for guests and hosting community relations activities
Work space for the team’s coaching and basketball front office staffs
