The historic Malkin Athletic Center serves both as the
University's primary recreation facility and as a satellite
location for several varsity sports. The majestic five story
building holds a wealth of options for the recreational exerciser.
Two Cardio Rooms allow members to choose from over 70 pieces of
equipment. Exercisers in the Cardio Rooms enjoy a view of the
pools: in addition to a 25 yard pool for laps and swimming lessons
(both private and group), there is a smaller pool for aquaerobics
and other activities. Those who prefer group exercise gravitate to
the Mezzanine, where all types of classes are held at all hours of
the day, or to our Indoor Cycling Studio. Club Sports provide an
opportunity to learn a martial art or other skill. Those who want
more intense guidance can work with a Personal Trainer or join a
specialty class. Others round out their workout schedules in our
three weight rooms, or head up to the three-court gym floor to play
basketball. The final stop is often the locker rooms, with shower
and toilet facilities as well as day and overnight lockers.
Home to Harvard Volleyball (M & W), Fencing (M & W) and
Wrestling, the MAC provides practice, competition, and office space
for these sports. Its location just outside of Harvard Square and
proximity to student housing provides a strong "home field"
advantage for the teams. The wrestling practice space was recently
renovated and expanded to accommodate the team. The volleyball
floor played host to the 2000 Ivy League Women's Volleyball
championships, and the fencing space is considered by many to be
the finest collegiate fencing facility in the country.
The MAC was built in 1930, renovated in 1985, and again in 2004.
Once known as the Indoor Athletic Building, the facility was
renamed in 1985 to honor Peter L. Malkin (A.B. 1955) who provided
the funding as well as the impetus for the improvements. A member
of fifteen Harvard committees, including the committee on
University Resources, Mr. Malkin has been a long-time supporter of
Harvard.
