Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Wellness and Athletic Center

Bryant’s athletics program boasts what is arguably the finest health and facility in the Northeast in the Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Wellness and Athletic Center. The center’s main arena, which can accommodate 2,700 spectators, features a completely resurfaced court and boasts new state-of-the-art lighting. In addition to the competition court, the main arena also houses two courts that are used during practice sessions.

 The Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Wellness and Athletic Center also features brand new, state-of-the-art locker rooms for the Bryant basketball teams. The carpeted locker rooms provide for a spacious and comfortable team area and are equipped with fine wood lockers, a new sound system and cable television.

In addition to the main arena, the Chace Center serves as the hub for the entire department of athletics. The facility houses the Jarvis Varsity Fitness Center, which is a fully equipped wellness area that is used exclusively by Bryant student-athletes.

The most recent upgrade to the facility came with the November 2001 completion of the Wellness Center, which is dedicated to the physical and emotional well-being of our students.

The Wellness Center’s fitness center, pool, exercise studio, and expertly taught programs on health and exercise are open to all students, faculty and staff of Bryant University.

 The fitness center, modeled after private-sector health clubs, features state-of-the-art Nautilus circuit machines, treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, recumbent bikes and lifecycles, rowing machines, and stairsteppers. The spacious 9,000-square-foot-area also offers numerous free weights.

A six-lane, 25-yard, competition-sized pool is one of the highlights of the Wellness Center. With air temperature remaining a constant 84 degrees and water temperature fixed at 82 degrees, the pool is an ideal environment for aerobic exercise year-round.  

Aerobic exercise, dance, spinning, and martial arts practice are housed in the Eannarino Family Aerobics Room. The room is equipped with mirrors, a sound system, and video equipment, including two 32-inch television monitors.
