Paul Bailey Pizzitola Memorial Sports Center

The Paul Bailey Pizzitola Memorial Sports Center was officially dedicated in April, 1989, in memory of Paul Bailey Pizzitola '81 and provides Brown with an intercollegiate sports facility equal to any multi-purpose athletic facility in the Ivy League.

Designed by the Eggers Group of New York City, the Pizzitola Sports Center provides an intercollegiate competition court for men's and women's basketball, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics with bleacher and balcony seating for 2,800. The main floor of the center is named the Williams Court for Howard Williams '17. A sliding divider on the main floor gives the facility flexibility for practice sessions.

The building is also home to the Kate Brodsky Memorial Squash Pavilion and its five state-of-the-art squash courts, providing seating for up to 200 spectators. The Pizzitola Center also features the 4,000 square foot Washington Weight Room, and has seperate rooms for wrestling and gymnastics. In addition, four tennis courts are housed under a fabric roof, which is made of teflon-coated fiberglass, a translucent matrial.

The athletic administration staff is located in the Pizzitola Sports Center as well as most intercollegiate coaches. Other features of the building include a beautiful lobby named after John Heisman '91, a press room and a reception area that overlook the main arena.
