Henry Memorial Center
300 (natatorium)
The Salvitti Family Gymnasium previously known as the Henry Memorial Center is a multi-purpose collegiate sports complex on the campus of Washington & Jefferson College. It houses two main athletic facilities, a gymnasium and a natatorium.[1]
History and architectural features
The Henry Memorial Center is adjacent to the Ross Recreation Center, a wrestling practice room, and Eaton Fitness Center.[1] The new side of the building houses coaches’ and administrative offices. The bottom floor houses the locker room facilities and an athletic training room.[1] The building was built in 1970 and renovated in the summer of 2019.
The main gymnasium serves as the home site for W&J's wrestling, volleyball, and men's basketball team and the women's basketball teams.[1] Its renovated bleachers can hold 1,500 spectators.[1]
The natatorium serves as the event center for the men's and women's swimming and diving teams as well as the men's and women's water polo squads.[2] The facility has a six-lane, 25-yard pool, with depths ranging four to seven feet deep.[2] The pool has a separate diving well and diving boards of one and three meter heights.[2] A balcony overlooking the pool can house approximately 300 spectators.[2]
The natatorium was the site of the 1976 and 1980 NCAA Division III Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.
