    1. Gantcher Center

      The Gantcher Family Sports and Convocation Center has been called a milestone in the history of Tufts athletics for good reason. It is the largest open indoor facility on campus, housing a 200-meter track and four tennis courts. With the convocation center's seating capacity of 6,000, the university can now host high-profile events. And, for the first time, Tufts has an indoor practice space for all the outdoor sports teams during inclement weather.

      Designed by the architectural firm of Sasaki and Associates, the 60,000-square-foot building is located on College Avenue on the Medford/Somerville campus and adjoins Tufts' other athletic buildings. It bears the name of the Gantcher family-Trustee Chair Nathan Gantcher, A62, his wife, Alice, and their three children, Joel, Michael and Kimberly-who made a lead gift.
