The brand new $8 million gym project that included the building of a new gym and the remodel of the Names Gym, long sought by students, parents and staff, opened in early December. The state-of-the-art facility is equipped to keep pace with the caliber of Bellarmine's athletes, the fitness needs of all students and the variety of events for the entire community throughout the year. The facility is seismically sound and built on "green" principles, reducing both the cost of maintenance and the school's carbon footprint.

The new gym can seat 1,000 spectators and houses the 10,000 SF basketball and volleyball court, a beautiful, large lobby (4,642 SF) and concession area, two classrooms, coaches/PE offices, official/adult changing area, new boys' locker rooms, a 4,500 SF fitness center, and 1,200 SF training room.

The remodeled Names Gym includes a renovated girls' locker/shower room, and a renovated wrestling/exercise room. A new corridor from the girls' locker room to the new gym is enclosed, seamlessly connecting the two buildings. The Names Gym will be used primarily as a practice gym.

The administration, coaches, physical education teachers, students and athletes of Bellarmine thank everyone who donated to the project. The beautiful new facility will serve the greater Bellarmine community for years to come.
