Coles Sports and Recreation Center

The building was named in honor of Jerome S. Coles, an alumnus and benefactor of NYU.

The facilities accommodated a wide range of individual and group recreational sports and fitness activities, including over 130 different courses at various skill levels serving 10,000 participants, as well as club sports and an intramural program enjoyed by approximately 3,500 students.

[citation needed] The Coles Sports Center was barrier-free and accessible to physically challenged persons.

Coles was also the home to most of New York University's NCAA Division III intercollegiate teams.

The fencing team also used Coles facilities, but participated in NCAA Division I.
