Overview

Mayser Center is the hub of Franklin & Marshall athletics. The building is home to the department's administrative offices, locker rooms, Sports Medicine and rehabilitation rooms, and the equipment room. The building services over 630 athletes competing in 27 sports each academic year. Built in 1961, the complex has seen its share of history.

Competing at Mayser: Basketball, Squash, Volleyball, and Wrestling

Gymnasium:

In the summer of 2019, work began to breathe new life into F&M's historic gym. A modern telescoping bleacher system with an electrical power-operated steel frame was installed to replace the wooden seating.

A fresh coat of paint brightened up the walls. New championship and individual accolade banners were installed to highlight the contemporary look of the space. The main entrance lobby of the building through the Williamson Parking Lot entrance features graphics of the all-time great volleyball, wrestling, men's and women's basketball players who imprinted their legacy on the Mayser floor.

A pair of 6-feet-by-10-feet, state-of-the-art Daktronics scoreboards with electronic captions are replacing the outdated units that had proudly displayed so many Diplomat wins, while new game-clock/shot-clock timers were hung above each basket.

Squash Courts:

The lower level of the Mayser Center hosts the squash team’s competition area, which features five ASB international squash courts, and the new squash office occupied by head coach Gavin Jones.

Wrestling Room:

Located on the lower level of Mayser Center, the W. Roy Phillips ’34 Wrestling Room, a 3,730 square foot training facility for the Diplomats’ only Division I athletics team. The room was renovated in 2017.
