Alumni Gymnasium (University of Kentucky)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alumni Gymnasium is a building on the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington, Kentucky. When it opened in 1924, replacing Alumni Hall (now known as Barker Hall and Buell Armory), it was a 2,800 seat multi-purpose arena, serving as home to the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team. It was replaced when the Memorial Coliseum opened in 1950. The building is now a student recreation facility, and is frequently used for recreational and intramural basketball.
