Memorial Gym2009 marked Memorial Gymnasium's 85th anniversary at the University of Virginia. Established originally as a memorial to the University's World War I casualties, this elegant facility continues to play a vital role in the athletic, recreational, and physical education kinesiology programs on Grounds. Venerable old Memorial Gymnasium has received a thorough facelift, courtesy of a gift of more than $1.5 million from an anonymous donor.
