Lundholm Gymnasium, home of the Wildcat basketball, volleyball and gymnastics programs, is dedicated to Carl Lundholm, who was first a student, coach and finally the school’s athletics director. Lundholm arrived on campus as a student in 1919 and spent more than 45 years helping to build New Hampshire’s athletic programs. After graduating from New Hampshire in 1921, Lundholm returned to campus in 1928 to coach the freshmen football, basketball and baseball teams. He later coached varsity hockey and golf. He became the Associate Director of Physical Education and Athletics in 1938 and the director of the department in 1940 until his retirement in 1967. The Field House was constructed in 1938 and basketball games were set up and played in the Sweet Oval, which now houses New Hampshire’s indoor track. Temporary wooden floors and bleachers were installed to accommodate 2,500 spectators. Prior to playing at Sweet Oval, the basketball teams played at New Hampshire Hall beginning in 1905. Lundholm Gymnasium was constructed in 1966 as part of a $2.6 million addition to the Field House. It officially opened for play during the 1966-67 season. It holds up to 3,500 spectators for a basketball contest and is also used for speaking engagements, concerts and other various functions. Lundholm was recently given some major overhauls, including a new bleacher system, new backboards, state-of-the-art scoreboards and new lights. Lundholm received restorations during the 2001-02 school year, when the basketball court was repaired and repainted and a new public address system was installed. The men’s basketball locker room was also renovated during the summer of 2000 with new hardwood lockers and carpeting, and received additional renovations again in 2008. Many games have been played at Lundholm Gymnasium and spectators continue to enjoy the intimate setting of being close to the unfolding action.
