The offices of the Valiant coaching staff are also located within Kennedy Gym, as are the offices of all Manhattanville administrators. Kennedy Gymnasium is also host to several camps and local recreational groups during the summer.
Dedicated in October 1957 by the family of eventual United States President John F. Kennedy, Kennedy Gymnasium is the home of the Manhattanville Department of Athletics.
Kennedy’s main attraction, a basketball and volleyball arena, is flanked by strength, training, locker room and office facilities and is the day-to-day operational home of all Valiant sports.
Before the season, each player is given his/her own locker. Inside the fully-enclosed locker rooms, the coaching staff can address the team before and during games, and the room is a perfect congregating spot for the season during the year. Locker facilities includes full shower facilities and access to Manhattanville’s swimming pool, strength and conditioning and athletic training facilities.
Manhattanville’s athletic trophies and banners, highlighting the program’s best accomplishments throughout the school’s distinguished athletic history are also located inside the lobby and main arena of Kennedy Gymnasium.
