The new field house did triple duty as an athletic facility, concert hall and academic building, providing the latter with space for class registration, graduations, student advising and other on-campus gatherings. Later referred to as the Men’s Gymnasium after a women’s facility was built, the field house was later home to the university’s museum. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the field house was refurbished in 2015 and transformed into the Jim & Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center.
