CM_DSACfic: Dunham Student Activity Center

The Dunham Student Activity Center is home of the athletics programs at Fontbonne University.

Dunham Student Activity Center (DSAC)

The Dunham Student Activity Center was dedicated in March, 1993. It stands at approximately 38,000 square feet and seats 1,800 in its gymnasium. It has facilities which include a weight room, track, aerobics room, snack bar and dining area. It is located adjacent to both Ryan Hall and the East Building on the Fontbonne campus. Athletic Director’s offices are located on the second level of the DSAC.
The building is named after former univerity President Dr. Meneve Dunham who was responsible for the majority of fundraising to make this beautiful addition to the campus possible. It was dedicated in the fall of 1992.

Mabee Gymnasium and Dr. Lee Mckinney Court

Located in the heart of the Dunham Student Activity Center is the Mabee Gymnasium and the Dr. Lee Mckinney Court. The court was dedicated following Coach McKinney's 700th win. It is home to the men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams. The gymnasium is surrounded by the indoor track, Athletic Office, the Alumni Cafe' and the Van-Lear Black III Aerobics Studio, located on the second floor.

Indoor Track

Located high above the gymnasium, the indoor track offers the ability to work out on those cold and rainy days. The track is open in conjunction with the fitness center and closed off during basketball games.

George S. Graff Fitness Center

The newly renovated George S. Graff Fitness Center, located on the first floor of the DSAC is equipped with the latest cardio, weight training machines, as well as, free weights. Towels are provided for members and ID cards are required for usage.

Gay Field

Using the latest synthetic grass technology installed by Sprinturf, the playing surface will be identical to that of Christian Brothers College and Washington University in St. Louis fields.
The facility will serve a minimum of five intercollegiate athletic teams: men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer and track and field. An all-weather 400-meter granular rubber track will surround the playing surface. New locker rooms and lighting will make the facility available for extended scheduling and student recreation needs, while new 1,200-seat bleachers and a state-of-the-art ADA compliant press box with public address system and video platform will make it enjoyable for fans of the Griffins—student and alumni spectators alike—to enjoy the games.
