The
Paul Bailey Pizzitola Memorial Sports Center was officially
dedicated in April, 1989, and provides Brown with
an intercollegiate sports facility equal to any multi-purpose
athletic facility in the Ivy League. Designed by the
Eggers Group of New York City, the Pizzitola Sports
Center provides an intercollegiate competition court
for men's and women's basketball, volleyball, wrestling
and gymnastics with bleacher and balcony seating for
2,800. A sliding divider on the main floor gives the
facility flexibility for practice sessions. The building
also features a 4,000 square foot weight room, five
state-of-the-art squash courts with spectator seating
for 200, and separate rooms for wrestling and gymnastics.
In addition, four tennis courts are housed under a
fabric roof, which is made of teflon-coated fiberglass,
a translucent material. The athletic administration
staff is located in the Pizzitola Sports Center as
well as most intercollegiate coaches. Other features
of the building include a beautiful lobby area with
a trophy case, a press room and a reception area that
overlook the main arena. |
