Originally constructed in 1926, Alumni Gym was the home of the UK’s basketball team until the construction of Memorial Coliseum in 1950. Until the current renovation of the UK Student Center began, Alumni was a student recreation facility, and was frequently used for recreational and intramural basketball. It was also home to the University of Kentucky Men’s Club Basketball team, University of Kentucky Club Dodgeball team, and the UK Men’s Club Volleyball team.
As part of the UK Student Center Renovation and Expansion, Alumni Gym is being renovated and will include spaces for aerobics, strength training, spinning, fitness studios, and men’s/women’s lockers and showers.
