History

The original facility, opened in 1982, included a tournament-size basketball court with bleacher seating for 3,500 (now known as Memorial Hall); a 32,000-square-foot, multi-use field house for basketball, tennis, jogging and other activities (now known as the John Deitrich `35 Field House); a six-lane, 25-meter swimming pool; and racquetball and squash courts.

A three-level, 39,000 square foot addition to the Life Sports Center was opened in August 2004. Included in the addition was a large free weights facility, an expanded cardio-fitness area, new facilities for health services and counseling, training rooms, locker rooms and coaches' offices. The addition overlooks Scotty Wood Stadium and Frank Marino Field.
