The J. Bird Sr. Shell Nest

The J. Bird Sr. Shell Nest is a 5,000 square foot storage facility specifically dedicated to the needs of The University of Tulsa women's rowing team.

The "Birds Nest", as the rowers call it, is a short 15-minute drive from campus and it allows TU access to one of the best waterways for rowing in the United States on the Verdigris River. The Verdigris River is part of the Mississippi River watershed and sports a natural setting of 18 miles distance for the TU Women's Rowing Team to practice and compete.

Tulsa hosted the 2009 Midwest Intercollegiate Rowing Championships, as well as multiple Lawless Cup regattas on the Verdigris River.

The building was completed in January 2007.
