Hubbard Hall

Hubbard Hall is a rowing facility at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis that houses training spaces, equipment storage, and water access for more than 200 rowers. The building contains separate areas for lightweight and heavyweight teams along with specialized features for training and competition.

Completed in 1930, the building was named after Rear Admiral John Hubbard, who steered a Navy crew to victory as stroke in 1870. This naming marked a turning point for the Academy, as it was the first building to honor a living person.

The name recognizes a Navy crew leader whose athletic achievements shaped early academy traditions, and today the building sits at the heart of where students prepare for competition.

The location offers direct water access and separate areas for different training weights, making training flow straightforward. Visitors should know the facility is primarily reserved for Academy rowers, and tours may be limited.

The building underwent extensive renovation that modernized its specialized rowing tank system and significantly improved training capabilities. This investment shows the Academy's ongoing commitment to rowing instruction and competitive preparation.
