Jenison Fieldhouse | WPA Campus Walking Tour | PBS WKAR

Originally designed to house male athletic activities, the Jenison Fieldhouse is characteristic of early 1940s architecture. The horizontal and vertical building elements culminate in a monumental entrance, accentuated by limestone reliefs depicting basketball, football, and baseball athletes.

The main entrance hall is embellished with Art Deco details, from the brass and wood staircase railing to the streamlined, geometric lighting in the foyer and main lobby.
