Bernard J. Kennedy '49 Field House
The Bernard J. Kennedy '49 Field House was not only a much-needed facility at the school, but it is certainly one of the most attractive and contemporary buildings one will see driving down Delaware Avenue. During the school day, the wall-to-wall 22,000-square-foot hardwood floor allows the physical education classes the opportunity to run multiple sections of sports to accommodate the Canisius population. It features multi-tiered seating for up to 1,000 people and additional standing-room capacity on the Basil Lobby, which overlooks the court.
The basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams call the Kennedy Field House their home court. Additionally, nearly every team uses the facility for indoor practices.
The field house is named in honor of a distinguished alumnus, the late Bernard J. Kennedy '49, former chair of National Fuel Gas. Kennedy's passion was to help educate young men in the Jesuit tradition so that they could have some of the same opportunities he had been afforded.
The field house opened in the fall of 2009.
