(In addition to using less raw materials, renovations are often more labor-intensive per dollar spent than new construction is.)

...Sprints, however, time is running out for coaches tinkering with lineups and boats looking for a rhythm. While the heavyweights have one race remaining before traveling to Sprints—next weekend’s Smith Cup battle with Northeastern—the time to put together a full effort is now. “We spent a lot of time drilling, working on technique,” Schreck said of this week’s preparations. “We’re in a position right now where we’re really starting to gain some momentum...
