The Kiernan Center is open to students, employees, alumni and individuals from the local community. Patrons must be 18 years old or accompanied by an adult.
There have been a number of improvements/upgrades made to the Kiernan Center within the past three years. We have installed a totally new gym floor in the front gym as well as two new gym dividers in Scaffidi. The new gym dividers will allow for more individual recreational activities and sport practices to take place in conjunction with one another without interference. We hope you enjoy the new additions!
