Volk Gymnasium

Volk Gymnasium is a tri-level complex comprised of a competition gym, indoor golf practice space, two racquetball/handball courts, a wrestling room, an expansive weight room for varsity student-athletes and administrative offices for the Mines Athletics Department. Mines’ wrestling, golf, baseball and softball teams have locker rooms in the building, as well as office suites for those sports along with men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and men’s and women’s soccer.

Additionally, the Wind Tunnel and Porous Media facility, part of the Center for Experimental Study of Subsurface Environmental Processes (CESEP) utilizes the old pool area in Volk.

Built in 1957, this building was renamed in 1974 for outstanding student-athlete, Russell Volk, who was later a member of the Board of Trustees and president of Mines Alumni Association. Russell earned 15 varsity letters in football, boxing, wrestling, basketball and baseball. He was also a member of the 1924 U.S. Olympic Team.
