For a Long Island club, the existing constraints required BRB to rotate the new courts at a 90-degree angle to fit them in with the existing courts. The design and installation of squash courts is very specialized, so Greer, who played for the Yale squash team and currently plays in many doubles and singles tournaments, offers a insiders perspective. He not only knows the sport, but also understands the fine points of squash court construction. Adding new courts or converting existing ones typically involves structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical issues pertaining to the building's infrastructure. Ceiling heights always pose limitations in urban buildings and in multi-floor buildings, frequently resulting in courts less than 19 feet high.
Materials used in squash courts are sensitive and excellent air conditioning is critical.
This includes not only maintaining the proper temperature, but the ideal humidity and air circulation as well to assure the longevity of the squash court. Allow expansion joints in floors and walls for the expansion and contraction of materials. It is aesthetically less pleasing than the other two options, but it offers the lightest weight and is the least expensive choice. BRB worked with the New York Knicks to develop their floor system. Lighting is a key element for players and viewers alike.
