The armory encompasses a 4,000-person event space and the largest fitness center on campus. Features include basketball courts, a running track, swimming pool, locker rooms and the Stabile Fitness Center, which offers free weights, Nautilus and cardio machines. Navy and Marine Corps ROTC program offices are also found here.
History: While construction began in 1928, the 26,500-square-foot armory remained nameless for more than 30 years. In 1962, during a Founder's Day Convocation on Oct. 20, the building was finally christened the Charles A. Plumley Armory. An 1896 Norwich alum and former U.S. Army colonel, Plumley served as university president from 1920 to 1934 and, later, as Vermont representative to the U.S. Congress.
