The home of the Jefferson Athletics Department, The Gallagher Athletic, Recreation, and Convocation Center opened its doors in August of 2006.
An addition to Althouse Hall, The Gallagher Athletic, Recreation, and Convocation Center houses Coach Herb Magee Arena--the home of the men's and women's basketball, and women's volleyball teams. The main gymnasium was dedicated in honor of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame head coach in November 2022. The arena includes two full-size basketball/volleyball courts, including the Rams' game-playing surface that also pays tribute to Magee. Herb Magee Court was named during the 2006-07 school year.
The Center--named after James P. Gallagher, Ph.D., Philadelphia University’s 10th president, for his 23 years of service--has an additional regulation-size basketball/volleyball court, Bucky Harris Gym; a state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics studio, racquetball court and elevated jogging track; as well as a 251-space underground parking garage.
