FRED B. GREEAR GYMNASIUM

Fred B. Greear Gymnasium has been the home of the Cavaliers since 1961. The facility is named in honor of former attorney Fred Bonham Greear. Greear was a member of the delegation that took the petition to the Virginia General Assembly that helped establish the College as an institution of higher learning in southwestern Virginia. For his efforts in establishing the College, the 1961 student body class voted to name the gymnasium in his honor. The multi-purpose facility seats 1,500 and often expands to standing-room-only capacity. In addition to basketball, the gymnasium is used for physical education classes, volleyball, intramural activities and special student and community events. The building houses the athletic department coaches and support staffs, a weight training facility, sports medicine office, swimming pool, locker rooms, a Hall of Fame hospitality room and two multi-use classrooms.
