Washington & Jefferson Volleyball

Salvitti Family Gymnasium serves as the home site for the wrestling, volleyball, and basketball teams, with a capacity of 2,000 bleacher-style seats. The third floor of the building was newly renovated to feature the Eaton Fitness Center. The bottom floor houses the locker room facilities as well as the athletic training room. An equipment room located next to the athletic training room is where the student-athletes have their practice and game clothes washed and stored. Adjacent to the Salvitti Family Gymnasium is the Ross Recreation Center. That building includes a multi-purpose gymnasium facility that provides additional space for varsity practices and intramurals. The area includes yoga and fitness rooms and a rubberized track for walking/running. The building also includes offices that house members of the coaching staff and administration.

The James David Ross Family Recreation Center opened its doors to the Washington & Jefferson College community in April 2017. The recreation center annexes to the Henry Memorial Center which has long been the home of athletics at W&J, and is utilized by outdoor sports throughout the winter months. The 30,000-square foot facility features a three-lane, 167-meter walking/running track, three multi-sport athletic courts marked for basketball, volleyball, and tennis, a new wrestling room, and a general exercise room for activities like yoga and pilates. New offices and recruiting spaces for the athletics department are also included. The recreation center features a dropdown batting cage for baseball and softball on one of the three courts. It also has a pole vault pen for the indoor track & field athletes to practice on. The recreation center is named for the family of David A. Ross ’78, the project’s donor, who also led the construction process. Ross, a member of the W&J Board of Trustees and the Property, Building and Grounds Committee, is the founder of Atlantic Realty, one of largest privately owned real estate developers in the Washington, D.C. area. He has guided the construction and renovation of several W&J buildings, including Swanson Science Center, the renovation of Dieter-Porter Life Sciences Building, and Ross Memorial Park, also named for his family. The facility, which is open to W&J students, faculty, and staff, has hosted the college's commencement and matriculation exercises since its opening.

The most recent addition to the athletic facilities at Washington & Jefferson College are Ross Memorial Park and Alexandre Stadium. Alexandre Stadium hosts the college’s men’s and women’s soccer teams in the fall and the men’s and women's lacrosse squads in the spring season, while Ross Memorial Park serves as home to the W&J baseball team. The playing surface is entirely made of FieldTurf, a synthetic playing surface that W&J has used at Cameron Stadium since its renovation in 2001. Ross Memorial Park and Alexandre Stadium combined represented the largest continuous artificial playing surface in the world when it was installed in 2003. The turf at Alexandre Stadium was replaced in the summer of 2018 to have sewn-in boundary lines and place the new W&J Athletics branding at midfield. The 233,000-square foot playing surface accommodates two full soccer/lacrosse fields. When not in use for soccer or lacrosse, this facility can be converted for use by W&J baseball, with the baseball outfield overlapping one of the two soccer fields.

Ross Memorial Park served as the site of the NCAA Division III Baseball Mideast Regional in three consecutive years (2015, 2016 and 2017). Ross Memorial Park was just one of eight regional sites across the country during those seasons. The playing surface is entirely made of FieldTurf, a synthetic playing surface that W&J has used at Cameron Stadium since its renovation in 2001. The baseball outfield overlaps one of the two soccer fields, and by erecting a removable fence and revealing the base areas, the facility can be converted for use by baseball for games and practices. Four hundred chairback seats surround Ross Memorial Park in addition to a press box, state-of-the-art scoreboard, and public restrooms. Also, behind the backstop of the baseball field is a two-level structure that houses public restrooms on the bottom level while the upper level will boast a training room, press box area, and a president’s box.

The home site for the Washington & Jefferson College softball team, Brooks Park, underwent major renovation in 2004. Brooks Park is enclosed by an outside fence and is handicapped accessible with ramps leading to the bleachers. The dimensions of the field are 200 feet down the lines marked by foul poles and 205 feet to straight away center field. It has a bullpen on both the home and away sides of the field. It has a sport-specific scoreboard and a flag pole that is located behind the right field fence. The field has dugouts for both home and away teams and has a storage facility on the end of the left field dugout. Brooks Park also has a press box located behind home plate from which the scoreboard and the new public address system are operated.

The Henry Memorial Natatorium is located inside of the Henry Memorial Center. It serves as the event center for the College’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams as well as the men’s and women’s water polo squads. The natatorium consists of a six-lane, 25-yard pool, ranging from four to seven feet. Diving boards (one- and three-meters) are located in a huge and beautiful diving-well area. The natatorium seats its spectators in a balcony that overlooks the pool area. It holds approximately 300 fans. Access to this area can be obtained by entering from the second level of Salvitti Family Gymnasium thus keeping fans from being on the pool deck level.

With it's completion in September 2015, the Janet Swanson Tennis Center serves as the home site for the W&J men's and women's tennis teams. Situated behind Greek Row on the upper North end of campus just off East Chestnut Street, the Swanson Tennis Center features six fully lit courts with a central observation area. The tennis center also has two bathrooms, an equipment storage building, a beautiful brick entryway and spectator seating around the perimeter of all six courts. The original W&J tennis courts were built in 1955 and sat next to the Henry Memorial Gymnasium. The courts were renovated and the naming rights of the Swanson Tennis Center occurred in the spring of 2001. The new Swanson Tennis Center is open to all W&J faculty, staff, and students as well as season pass holders in the Washington community

In 1885, Washington & Jefferson College purchased eight acres of the old Washington Fairgrounds on the south side of the City of Washington to use the property as a site for football games. Since then, the facility that was once known as College Park has been the site of numerous historic collegiate and high school games. Before the 1999 season, College Field was redesigned and expanded, thanks to a commitment of $2.5 million from Don and Sally Cameron, Dick and Edwina Cameron, James and Nancy Cameron, Steven and Diane Cameron and Lynn Cameron and family to update and enhance the aging facility. An eight-lane, all-weather outdoor track was added as well as the installation of a new playing surface. Cameron Stadium is also the home of W&J field hockey and track & field. The completion of the Washington & Jefferson Athletic Hall of Fame, including the Eaton/Gentile Hall of Fame Room at Towler Hall, has also helped current students, alumni and fans honor and appreciate those from the past who played, coached and supported W&J athletics. In 2010, Hellas Construction replaced the 10-year-old artificial surface with state-of-the-art RealGrass. The surface was once again replaced in the summer of 2018 when brand new FieldTurf was installed with the new W&J Athletics logo at midfield and the Presidents' wordmark in the end zones. Cameron Stadium is one of the top facilities in all of Division III.
