GONZAGA Athletic Facilities
McCarthey Athletic Center (Basketball)
After 35 years competing in the powerful atmosphere of the Kennel in the Charlotte Y. Martin Centre, Gonzaga Basketball shot over to the newly built, $25 million McCarthey Athletic Center. Completed in November 2004, the McCarthey Athletic Center houses the men's and women's basketball games, locker rooms, practice facility, and coaching offices. This new arena includes six concessions, 12 large bathrooms, 2 family restrooms, 6 luxury suites, a Club Room, 4 visiting team locker rooms, additional athletic administration offices, and practice facilities for the Gonzaga men's and women's crew teams. In addition to hosting basketball events, the McCarthey Athletic Center has the ability to host non-athletic events such as concerts, tournaments, banquets, meetings, and receptions.
Charlotte Y. Martin Centre (Volleyball)
The Martin Centre provides the Gonzaga community with more than 121,000 square feet of indoor recreational space. The complex includes a fieldhouse with eight racquetball/handball courts, indoor jogging track (1/11th of a mile), and three basketball/volleyball courts. The Pavilion also includes the Rudolf Fitness Center, a 25yd pool, an athlete weight room, training room, two basketball courts, a dance studio, locker rooms, and the Offices for the Athletic Department. This building is home for the Varsity volleyball team and hosts many outside events
Gonzaga Soccer Field
Men's and Women's soccer practices and plays all their home matches on this field. Set next to Lake Arthur and the popular Centennial Trail, this field has great scenery and lots of room to play. Gonzaga's new home beginning in 2008, the Gonzaga Soccer Field in now one of the best on the West Coast. Construction on the multi-million dollar soccer stadium started in early February of 2008, and anyone who has visited the Rudolf Fitness Center knows and has seen firsthand as the project has gone from muddy mess to a pile of dirt to a green field of dreams. The first phase of the stadium was completed in late Aug. of 2009. Phase I included both the main playing and practice fields, the plaza, press box, main ticket booth, berms and site landscaping. Phases II, III and IV will round out work on the soccer stadium in¬cluding the completion of the main grandstands, locker rooms, concessions, restrooms and lastly the installa¬tion of the stadium lights.

Patterson Baseball Complex
and Washington Trust Field

Gonzaga's new home beginning in 2007, Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field returned baseball to the Bulldog campus for the first time since 2003. The first game in the new, state-of-the-art lighted facility, was March 15, 2007, the first night game was played April 17, 2007, and the dedication game was played April 20, 2007. The complex is named after the family of Michael Patterson, current chairman of the Board of Trustees, while Pete Stanton and Washington Trust Bank in Spokane was also a major contributor to the project.
A.M. Corner Practice Facility
Mark Albin and Ty McGee of A.M. Landshaper saw a need at Gonzaga and met it. Shortly after finishing the field construction of the Gonzaga Soccer Field in the summer of 2008, Albin and McGee decided to turn their time and talent toward creating a golf practice facility for the men's and women's golf teams complete with a target green, putting green and sand bunker. The new facility, which is adjacent to the Gonzaga soccer practice field, is an enormous help to the golf programs as they did not have their own on-campus facility in the past and normally travel to various local course for practice.
Gonzaga Boathouse
The Gonzaga University boathouse is located on the Spokane River nearly 4 miles from the Gonzaga campus. The boathouse serves as the primary home for Gonzaga rowing and stores all rowing shells. Gonzaga practices and races during the fall season at the boathouse which sits near the Upriver Dam and provides a scenic end to the 5,000 meter river course. The boathouse also provides three docks for crews to enter the water and an extensive outdoor stretching area. During the spring race season Gonzaga competes at the 2,000 meter Silver Lake course. Gonzaga also has an indoor rowing facility located on the lower level of the McCarthey Athletic Center.
Kermit R. Rudolf Fitness Center
In addition to athletic life, the Martin Centre complex also includes the newly finished Kermit R. Rudolf Fitness Center, which opened in the Spring of 2003. The fitness center includes two levels, housing fitness and strength training zones. The area is also equipped with 14 televisions on separate broadcasting channels so patrons can select which channel to watch. The new area also contains a 25-yard indoor pool with six lanes for lap swimming. The former fieldhouse has been incorporated into the fitness center providing an indoor running track, three basketball/volleyball courts, four racquetball courts, and two aerobic rooms. Ample locker room space has also been built into the center for patrons to use.
Josh Burrows Athletic Training Center
In Josh Burrows had a vision and Gonzaga University had a need. The two culminated into what you see before you today, the Josh Burrows Performance Athletic Center. His vision was to provide Gonzaga University and its student-athletes the winning edge in sports science, emphasizing state-of-the-art sports training methods. That vision has now become a reality. A 1979 graduate of Gonzaga University and longtime Spokane resident, Josh has always been interested in dynamic sports training. He has spent countless hours researching and identifying improved means of increasing athletic performance, some of it through his own athletic training. With the dedication of the Josh Burrows Performance Center, "JB", as he is affectionately known by the student-athletes, will be remembered as the "father of fitness" within the Bulldogs Athletics Family, as student-athletes for years to come will reap the rewards of his vision.
