The court inside the UCLA Health Training Center features Robbins Bio-Channel Classic floor. The board for the court were hand-selected for the clearest, first-grade maple.
“The unique method of the installation was installing the sleepers at 17 inches OC (on-center) in lieu of 16 inches,” said Mark Herthel, Pacific Floor sales manager and estimator, in a statement. “We ran the three-quarter-inch plywood subfloor diagonal to the sleepers in lieu of parallel direction. We also used Random Length Plus maple instead of the new XL, as it didn't exist when the earlier training center was built. We didn't want to deviate from what they had. It was a challenge to install at first, however, our crew caught on quickly and completed the project on time.”
This is one of a number of Lakers’ floors, including the main court at the Staples Center, manufactured by Robbins and installed by Pacific Floor.
