It is home to the Brown University Bears men's and women's basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling & squash teams. It was built adjacent to Meehan Auditorium on Lloyd Street as a replacement for Marvel Gymnasium, which was located next to Brown Stadium on Elmgrove Ave. The building was named for Paul Bailey Pizzitola '81, whose father contributed $2 million to its construction. The lobby of the building is named for Brown attendee (1887-89) and football legend John Heisman, Brown class of 1891.
