Completed in 1953, the Women's Building was the culmination of almost half a century of efforts to establish a building for women's activities and physical education. The Women's Building also served as the hub for women's intercollegiate athletics until 1982, when they merged with the men's program and moved to Manley Field House. Many of the University's intramural outdoor competitions take place on the Women's Building playing field. Today, the Women's Building houses the University's Exercise Science department and institutional advancement, with offices for university communications and development.
