Rolfs Athletics Hall

Work began in January 2018 to repurpose the Rolfs Sports Recreation Center after the opening of the Smith Center for Recreational Sports in the new Duncan Student Center on the west side of Notre Dame Stadium. Rolfs Athletics Hall became available for use in November of 2019.

The 77,000-square-foot Rolfs Athletics Hall features video rooms, team rooms and locker rooms for both the men’s and women’s programs, as well as views into both practice gyms on the entry level. Also on the entry level are locker areas for the coaching and support staffs, and auxiliary locker spaces available for basketball alumni, practice players and other guests.

The lower level features nutrition space, a sports medicine facility with two in-ground (hot and cold) hydrotherapy tubs, a large strength and conditioning center and two separate practice gyms, each with a full-sized replica of the court in Purcell Pavilion, and several side baskets for drills.

The upper level includes a shared reception area, office suites for each program, each with a kitchen and storage space, and two conference rooms suspended above the respective gym spaces. A spectator viewing area, fully renovated with trophy displays and ample space for various entertainment functions, are also on the upper level.
