History

The Events Center was built to create a Division I athletic and multipurpose facility in an addition to the West Gym. The majority of sports and athletic administration are located at the Events Center with the exception of certain sports, such as Swimming & Diving, Volleyball and Wrestling. The Events Center is surrounded by ample parking facilities, athletic fields, the new Bearcat Sports Complex for soccer and lacrosse competitions and tennis courts. In December 2015, it was announced that the events center would host the NYSPHAA State Boys Basketball Championships from 2017–2019.
