Abernethy Physical Education Center<br />
The Julius W. Abernethy Physical Education Center, home of Catawba’s basketball teams, is one of the finest on-campus athletic<br />
facilities in the state of North Carolina. It was named after the late Julius W. Abernethy of Newton, N.C., and was dedicated on<br />
September 26, 1970. Basketball games are played in the center’s Goodman Gymnasium, named in honor of Enoch A. Goodman of<br />
Salisbury. The Lady Indians are 197-72 (73.2%) at home since beginning SAC competition in 1989-90. In October of 2002, the floor<br />
was named in honor of former men’s basketball coach, Sam Moir.<br />
The building, which cost more than $1.8 million to build, has a seating capacity of 3,500 for basketball, and now has a value of<br />
about $5 million. A beautiful maple hardwood playing surface was installed in December 1990. The facility is also used extensively<br />
for intercollegiate volleyball, student activities, civic events, concerts and various athletic camps during the summer months.<br />
The College’s Athletic and Physical Education offices, as well as classrooms, are located on the upper level. Situated on the lower<br />
level is the Allen S. Johnson Jr. Swimming Pool, three racquetball courts, the Meyer Auxiliary Gym complete with an indoor batting<br />
cage, various student and athletic dressing accommodations, and the Lofland Strength Training Center.<br />
