The West Side Rowing Club is located on the Black Rock Channel, just south of the Peace Bridge. The channel provides a number of possible rowing operations including a 1500-meter course, a 2000-meter course, and a 3-mile Head course for training.
The campus consists of two boathouses: The Doc Schaab Boathouse and the Frank Lloyd Wright Fontana Boathouse. The Doc Schaab Boathouse consists of five bays, four bays are designed with custom boat racks and house 80 of WSRC's training and racing fleet. The fifth bay is an enclosed, climate controlled training center with 40 ergometers, spinbikes and other training equipment. Attached to the Doc Schaab Boathouse is the WSRC Clubhouse. This two-story brick structure contains a workshop, ten person tank room and training center, locker rooms, a boardroom and a kitchen.
