Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center

Culture and character aren't just written in handbooks: they live in people.  Over the years, daring men and women wearing Colby blue became pioneers, and coaches turned winning seasons into legacies.  Teamwork, leadership, humility, resilience, and grit would come to define our spirit, and that spirit followed us to a new home in the fall of 2020 when the Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center opened its doors.  

Here, floor-to-ceiling windows let the light flood in, beckoning.  At 350,000 square feet, this place is unlike anything that's come before.  It continues our commitment to the environment and conservation, and the same spirit of place and sport is here.  An all-season 200-meter track will host the highest levels of competition.  Maine's only Olympic-sized swimming pool welcomes not only college, but high school swimmers to perform their best.  The best ice in the northeast has new walls.  We've laid our hardwood and we're ready to compete.  

Our athletes will have access to the best trainers and coaches, and a fitness center the size of two football fields combined.  Buzzer beaters and broken records will add to our storied history. Athletes don't just join a team at Colby, they join a tradition.  It's a tradition that trains them to be leaders, to meet the greatest challenges head-on.  To Dare Northward.  To give back.  We will grow that legacy.  Welcome home.
