Burt Kahn Court/Gymnasium

This hardwood floor facility located in the Recreation and Wellness Center on the Mount Carmel Campus serves as the competitive site for Quinnipiac home volleyball games. The gymnasium also is used for university special events, intramurals and “open recreation.”

Recreation Center  

The Recreation and Wellness Center on the Mount Carmel Campus has four multipurpose courts used for tennis, basketball, volleyball and other recreation activities. Dividers between each court allow for a variety of activities to take place simultaneously.  

Indoor Track  

The suspended indoor track encircles our four Recreation Center courts on the Mount Carmel Campus. Students and staff may walk and jog upstairs while games and practices are being conducted downstairs. Nine laps of the track equal one full mile.
