Memorial Hall On Saturday, February 6, 1954, the dream of each Muhlenberg alumnus was realized when Memo- rial Hall, the new physical educa- tion building, was dedicated in a brief program. In the 56 years since, Memorial Hall has been the site of numerous basketball games, wrestling meets, concerts, speakers and, of course, volleyball matches. In 2008, Demo- cratic campaigners Bill Clinton and Barack Obama paid Memorial Hall a visit. Although it is 56 years old, Memorial Hall remains a thoroughly modern facility. Recent improvements have included the addition of an overhead scoreboard and the 2004 repainting of the fl oor. Since 1998, Memorial Hall has been home to the Buttermaker Tournament. Th e Mule volleyball team has enjoyed playing at home, compiling a 126-67 (.653) record in Memorial Hall since 1991.

Life Sports Center A three-level, 40,000-square-foot addition to the Life Sports Center opened in August 2004, further improving Muhlenberg College’s athletic facilities. Th e addition, built directly west of the John Deitrich Field House, includes a large weight facility, an expanded cardio- fi tness area, a snack bar, new facilities for health service and counseling, training rooms, locker rooms and coaches’ offi ces. Th e structure off ers a spectacular view of the College’s outdoor facilities and is joined to the original Life Sports Center by a large indoor corridor on the main level. A new main entrance faces the campus. Th e project also entailed renovations in the Field House, including installation of a new fl oor and track, new netting, new lighting and painting.
