William H. Pitt Health and Recreation Center

The William H. Pitt Health and Recreation Center is home to the 32 Pioneer Division I men’s and women’s programs as well as our 26 club sports programs. The three-level, 141,000-square-foot complex features four multipurpose basketball courts, which can be easily converted for concerts or convention use, and seats 2,100 for basketball. The main level of the Pitt Center also houses the Sacred Heart University Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, a joint private-practice/University venture offering many specialized clinical rehabilitation and wellness services in conjunction with academic-based faculty therapists, in a facility that features state-of-the-art physical therapy equipment. The Health and Fitness Center is located on the lower level of the Pitt Center. Offering a wide range of fitness equipment and classes, the 5,000-square-foot facility features an enclosed aerobics studio and main fitness area, where the latest generation of cardiovascular exercise machines and Hammer Strength free-weight equipment (purchased in the summer of 2014) can be used. Locker rooms for both the Pioneer and visiting athletic teams are adjacent to the fitness area as well as the Pioneer wrestling room. The upper level of the Pitt Center houses the Department of Athletics suite of offices and a student study center. Perched atop the Pitt Center is the Sky Box, a beautifully appointed room with terrace access that is used to host special guests during athletic events. Graduate students may use the Fitness Center for a fee.
