Narrative:
Built in 1929, the Ray Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center was originally called "The Gym." At the time of its construction it was considered the premiere indoor sports facility in Northeast Wisconsin. Many famous athletes and teams used this facility.
In 1945 the building was renamed to honor the college's first student, Frank VanDyke. This building was decommissioned in 1979 and replaced with a new sports center. In 2000, VanDyke Hall was renovated, expanded and converted to the Ray Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center, a modern student recreation and activity center.
