The second floor is home to the La Salle University Athletic Department and team offices. Also located on the second floor is the Mezzanine level, which is overlooks the main entrance. It is only accessible from the main entrance.
The third floor houses Tom Gola Arena, the 4,000 seat basketball/volleyball/intramural sports facility.

Famous quotes containing the word center:
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
