Memorial Gym

Memorial Gym, a gift of alumni and other friends, was built in 1952 as a memorial to Vanderbilt men and women who served in the armed forces during World War II, 144 of them at the cost of their lives. It was designed by the late master architect Edwin Keeble. One-third of funds came from the bequest of Frederick W. Vanderbilt. Memorial Gym has been expanded several times. Renovation completed in spring 2002 added a new practice gym with three courts and new office space for men's and women's basketball. The gymnasium seats approximately 14,100.
