Lewinstein Athletic Center

When Alumni Gymnasium was built in 1909, it was considered to be one of the most complete in the Eastern states. Alumni Gymnasium contains two swimming pools — including the modern Karl Michael championship pool with bleachers for 400 spectators — intramural basketball courts, 1/13 of a mile jogging track, fencing lanes and offices for a majority of the coaching staffs within its 129,000 square feet.

A $12 million renovation to Alumni Gymnasium, the centerpiece of Dartmouth's athletic complex, was completed in 2005. Included in the renovation was the creation of the 14,000-square foot Zimmerman Fitness Center, eight new multi-use fitness spaces (comprising about 10,000-square feet) infrastructure improvements to Karl Michael Pool, handicap accessibility, and an elevator serving the gym's three levels.

This storied building will now bear the name “Lewinstein Athletic Center” to honor Diana and Stephen Lewinstein and their generosity and commitment to furthering Dartmouth Athletics.
