The 1,200 seat Calvin Gooding '84 Arena opened in October 2005. It features three full wood-floor courts for basketball and volleyball that includes two courts across the main playing floor and the Kannerstein Pavilion which is a full-length court that allows for multiple teams to practice in the arena at the same time.
Designed by the internationally acclaimed architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the Gardner Center is a memorial to three former Haverford College student-athletes and loyal alumni - Douglas B. Gardner '83 (men's basketball), Thomas B. Glasser '82 (men’s track & field), and Calvin Gooding '84 (men's basketball) - who died tragically on September 11, 2001 in New York City.
