It was designed by James Naismith at a cost of $100,000. The creation of the modern facilities were led by Naismith and Chancellor (education), Chancellor Frank Strong.

Construction began in 1905 and was completed in May 1907. The building was a significant improvement over Snow Hall, which had 11-foot ceilings and support beams in the middle of the floor. Robi ...
