    The Physical Learning Center (PLC) is at the heart of athletics and recreation at Grove City College.

    Whether on a varsity or intramural team, or just looking to work out, students have access to amazing facilities in the PLC. The 168,000 square-foot facility was built in 1953 and is home to:

    • Grove City College Arena
    • James E. Longnecker Competition Pool
    • Recreation pool
    • 36,000 square-foot intramural room with suspended 1/13 mile track
    • 9,000 square-foot fitness center
    • Eight lane bowling alley
    • Six racquetball courts
    • Two dance studios
    • 10 general and varsity athletics locker rooms

    The PLC is home to the Grove City College Athletic Hall of Fame highlighting the many athletic and academic achievements of Wolverine student-athletes throughout the College's history.

    Renovations

    When initially constructed, the PLC was approximately 95,000 square-feet and housed the arena, recreation pool, four racquetball courts, one intramural room, multiple locker-room facilities, and office space for faculty and staff.
