Bohler Gymnasium, Athletic facility in Washington State University, Pullman, United States.
Bohler Gymnasium is a volleyball arena on the Washington State University campus in Pullman that serves as the home for the university's volleyball teams. The building displays renaissance revival architecture with red brick construction, terra cotta details, and cut stone embellishments across its exterior.
The building opened in 1928 as Washington State College Gymnasium and received its current name in 1946 to honor J. Fred Bohler, the longtime athletics director. This renaming recognized Bohler's contributions to developing the university's athletic programs.
The facility serves as a dedicated space for volleyball, reflecting the university's commitment to the sport and drawing fans who appreciate the specialized venue. Visitors experience an environment built entirely around this single athletic discipline.
The gymnasium is located on the university campus and is accessible by foot from various campus areas. Visitors should note that access is typically restricted to official events and university functions.
In January 1987, the gymnasium temporarily hosted a basketball conference game against Arizona when a power outage at the main arena made it unavailable. This unusual event showed how the facility could adapt beyond its primary volleyball purpose.
